Cathedral Rock saddle. If you can make one hike, I suggest this one.
It is only .75 miles UP. Don't take hiking sticks, you might need free hands.
You will have to climb some, but it is safe and spectacular.

Great historical town with lots of saloons and brothels,
most of which are now shops.
Prescott was the territorial capital of AZ.
This ghost town is hopping, plenty of shopping, history, and lunching.

Valley of the Gods is "on route" to Arches NP in southeastern Utah.
There is a hike to Delicate Arch-not easy.
There is also a shorter hike to a view point.
This area is near Arches, outside Moab. Worth a scenic drive!
Don't forget Canyonlands National Park, "around the corner" from Arches. But for the best views into the canyon go to Dead Horse Point State Park between Canyonlands and Arches.
