Point of interest-
It might be a bit of a shlep but one of the best creeks to go is pretty out there(its in the middle of nowhere forests) near Strawberry, Arizona, known as Fossil Creek. That drive is probably itself an adventure and the entire reserve is gorgeous. However I could never go there without hiking the mile or so to the natural hot springs. Best part of the creek! Google for pictures...

See http://www.fossilcreekaz.com/pages/verde.html for info.

I would disagree depending on the age and personality of the children. Some trails are more "extreme" than others and if you ask the company they can recommend a trail for you based on this. Children regularly go on jeep tours. It is safe to say as a Sedona native I went on quite a few.

How about going with a 3 year old and 15 month old?

If you're a real hiker try Angel's Landing. AMAZING views but very strenuous. OTW up you're almost mountain climbing on cliffs holding on w/ chains & stuff...

In lake Powell today any suggestions which place to rent boat from etc...

Carl's in Page has very cheap rates. IIRC last time I was there we rented jet-skis from him for $200+ for the DAY. As opposed to other places where it's $100+ per hour.

Dan, this is a Hakoras HaTov shoutout. Last December, I booked a one-way on American/Elal from Tel Aviv to Phoenix, with an 11 month stopover in New York, where I live. My husband and I just returned from a beautiful week in Scottsdale. It was all free and it was beautiful. We stayed at the Westin Kierland(SPG points), which was beautiful!!! It is a one mile walk to Ahavas Torah Shul. The community there was very welcoming. We went to Sedona, GC, Frank Lloyd Wright's home, had a massage at the hotel spa, Last Chance and to Chabad and the many delicious kosher eateries. Scottsdale is really beautiful. The way back was free between the money spent on my American credit card and the 10% rebate. Thank you Dan for all that I have learned from your site!!!!!!

I'm not quite familiar with Phoenix, although I've visited multiple times because I have family there in Cave Creek 30 minutes north west of PHX. Sedona is just amazing though. The views are just majestic. Though it may be snowing or at the least cold as heck over there. Hiking trails are legit, but with a three month old baby, I would just check out the views and eat the good food there. The architecture is amazing and so is the history. People are just so welcoming. We will actually be in AZ in mid-Jan to visit family. Enjoy!

I'm planning a trip with my wife to AZ to visit family close to Phoenix in mid-Jan. We are coming from either Long Beach Airport in Long Beach, CA, LAX, or John Wayne Airport in Orange County. I have Jetblue points for 2 one-ways, Citi AA 33k points, Chase Bold 58k points, Freedom 17k, and Sapphire 48k. What can I do to maximize my points and get free flights? I don't have to worry about accommodations, just flights and maybe a car rental for Sedona. What airlines should I use? Are there any promos (there's got to be alot of holiday sales) that I could take advantage of? Any advice?

I was there in the summer and they didn't have a minyan during the week. Call/email the rabbi to find out if there will be a minyan
