Hi all. If you were driving from Den to Tucson, where would you absolutely stop to photograph? I'm not married to any particular route yet, as I know there are a million ways to get there. I can't make any massive detours though as it's not specifically a photo road trip, and I have to spend most of the week in the Tucson area. Thanks!

Depends on when the trip is made.

I guess it depends on what you've already seen, but I'd probably head to Moab, then south through Monument Valley and Flagstaff. Tons of things to see along that route, including Colorado NM, Arches, Canyonlands, Cedar Mesa, Monument Valley, Sedona, etc., etc.

I heartily agree with Grant!
This keeps you off of the freeways for a good long stretch, too.
Have a safe and fun trip!

I like Grant's suggestion as well but maybe with a stop at Canyon de Chelly.
