Defintely plan on a few different locations.
Dead Horse Ranch State Park is a good place to stay to see Jerome and Sedona.
Lost Dutchman State Park or Usery Mountain Regional Park are great for the Phoenix area.
Catalina State Park is good for Tucson.
Kartchner Caverns is close to Tombstone and a day trip to Bisbee.
Not to miss: Big Bend National Park in Texas
City of Rocks State Park in New Mexico.
Every single one is a favorite with us! We volunteered at Lost Dutchman and Kartchner in the cave. :) Arizona has awesome parks.
