A few miles west, Alternate 89 leisurely winds through the hills offering views and sights not available from the interstate. Rig towing is easy from Flagstaff south to Clarkdale. The road south of Clarkdale through Jerome to Prescott calls for stout nerves for the driver towing a rig. There is no problem for a shorter, lighter vehicle. Just south of Flagstaff Alternate 89 is Oak Creek Canyon, offering cool temperatures and a panorama of majestic rock formations.
Oak Creek has fishing, camping, hiking, and water rock slides for the more adventurous.
Continuing south finds the road in the heart of Sedona's red rocks and trendy shops. Another 20 or so miles leads to the Verde Valley and Cottonwood. This is a good place to spend a few days and take trips to surrounding sights. The area sports many motels and campgrounds. The Verde Valley Fair Grounds located on Historic 89 in Cottonwood has several RV Parking sites and charges minimal fees with water and electrical hookups.
