If you want a good burger, there are about 10 places better than In N Out, including Smashburger and The Habit.

If you'll be in the Payson area, Tonto Natural Bridge State Park is a great hike in a cave/under a waterfall.

IMO, Sedona is for the extroverted money-spending tourist while Jerome is Sedona's introverted loner brother. In Sedona, you can pay for all kinds of tours and all kinds of touristy junk, go to a wine tasting or three, etc. In Jerome, you can eat lunch and try to throw a quarter 30 yards into a toilet of an abandoned jail. I naturally prefer Jerome.

That entire drive from Jerome to Flagstaff is beautiful (and if you aren't in a hurry, the long ways to places are great drives, such as Phoenix to Payson and then up towards Flagstaff). If you do hit up Jerome, Haunted Hamburger and their bacon caramel bourbon milkshake is a must.

Lava River Cave near-ish Flagstaff is really cool hike... buy a couple of head lamps.

The Petrified Forest is neat.

There's a massive hole in the northern part of the state that seems to attract a lot of people, plus slot canyons in Page that are supposedly pretty awesome (if they're open).

If you'll be in Tucson, the Mount Lemmon observatory and Kartchner Caverns are really cool... you'll get some humidity in the former and then need a coat at the peak of Mt Lemmon.

You had me at smash burger
