wow! great, thank you for the tips! will def. look into green valley and verde valley areas!Please consider looking at the Green Valley area - I was there again recently and again have fallen in love with it. Truly is green and has possibilities that I don't even know about but dream of. Prescott and PV are higher in elevation so are cooler in summer and winter months. Some snow at times. More rain - it is beautiful and an easy drive to North Phoenix. We used to live in the Verde Valley - also beautiful and greener than the low or high desert. The drive is probably easy too although I don't remember how long any more. I'm thinking 2 hours. No sure where your sister is in PHX but that could make a difference. More folks will chime in because we have them all over the state! Enjoy!
