This is some great information..no I will not take 89A north of Sedona. Thanks for the info. This is going to be our first trip out West and I am a little concerned about mountain driving...change that a lot concerned. But form this post and others it seems you just take your time pay attention and enjoy it. That's what my DW says we will do.
AND another great example of why one should limit driving times/distances to ~400 miles max per day! Being "a lot concerned" will keep you alert and on your toes, so to speak, but don't let it intimidate you. You'll get into the nuances of mountain driving fairly quickly, I'm thinking, since you've got an open mind and listened to the suggestions of the prior posters. While it's less than 150 miles, you'll know you've done some driving when you get to The Valley Of The Sun!
Best of Luck to you on your trip!
