You can quicly return to Phoenix on the horror that is I-17.

Desert, mountains, red rock cliffs, ski lodges, buzzards picking on dead snakes on the road, all kinds of stuff.
If you head north to Utah, stop in Page, AZ for lunch at Fiesta Mexicana, a small salmon colored place on the main road. Best Mexican food we had in Arizona.
