I-40 Through New Mexico and Arizona - Things To See

[TECMike]

On an I-40 route through New Mexico, Albuquerque, and on to Flagstaff, Arizona, are there any nice stops or things to see and do on the way? We would be towing our travel trailer and will want to stay on I-40 all the way. Thanks in advance.

Petrified Forest, exit 311 in AZ is well worth the trip.

Meteor Crater at exit 233. Don't miss it. And they have a nice little basic RV campground right there, too.

Albuquerque edit: And if you have any interest in things military you should check out this Nuclear Museum at the south end of town. It's really a fascinating place to wander through, and outside they have lots of military aircraft and other equipment from those years long ago.

If you have enough time and want to venture off highway 40 you may want to consider Monument Valley & the Grand Canyon. Both are spectacular.

I remember passing something about petrified forests and meteor crater but had no time to stop. Would love to see it next time I pass by on I-40. Not sure of exact location but they were in the area.

If you want to do a little side trip when in Flagstaff area. Take a drive through Oak Creek Canyon down to Sedona. Very scenic drive. You may want to leave your trailer in a campground when you do this.
