He also made several rest stops at clean places and even took us to a special pie bakery on the way home. This is a very long day (about 13 hours from Scottsdale).

Our guide, Matt, was absolutely awesome. He gave me confidence to drive when I was feeling inadequate and never made us feel rushed or uncomfortable.
