Route stops between Albuquerque & Flagstaff?

You said you have 10 DAYS to do all this. Does it include everything or is this the free time. If travel is included you have a much more limited amount to see and much will be based on what you ant to see. Most mentioned above are the typical tourist areas IMO. There are more areas such as the vast array down a little further out of soccoro, there is Pie Town along the same route and then you can go north to the Malapais lava flow. ALso there are a couple of casinos along the stretch if that interest you. But for every side trip remember you are loosing time on your 10 days. The painted desert with just a cursory view will take several hours and then you will either back track or take 2 lane roads back to I40 to get on trac again.

Also dont say what type rig you are in, TT, 5er, rv? Each will require its own consideration for side trips. Once in AZ stay at KOA in Flagstaff and you can day trip out from there. although each will be a day of varying length, montezuma castle, sedona (oak creek canyon), the indian ruins at sunset crater etc. just a drive thru on the south rim is a full day trip from Flag and that is without any other side trips. there is a AF museaum in williams if interested in such, the train ride to the GC from williams etc.

Anyhow enjoy what you can but be selective on how much you think you can do in 10 days.
