Cool video. the wife and I also enjoy exploring off the beaten path and went to Az a couple years ago. my step mother has a condo in Scottsdale, so we centered there and made several day or two trips in different directions. out East of Scottsdale, as the vid clip showed, you find Goldfield. that is a very fun place, but a ghost town it is not. it was totally made as a tourist stop, complete with a tour of the "mine shaft" which is also made for show. like I said however, it is a really cool place, and I would still go there again. plus there are other sites along the way there.
To the South of Scottsdale we ended up in Tombstone. also fun place but totally turned into a tourist trap now. the history is still there, but you have to look past the fake shootouts in the street every day etc. One of the best parts of going south for us was the Puma air museum. you don't want to miss that place as it's huge (use the shuttle tour to see more of it) and has some amazing mothballed planes that you won't see anywhere else up close and personal. also stop at (I'll think of the name later) the cave tour north of the Puma museum. recently located caves (80s?) that are huge and beautiful.
North is beautiful country, and of course ends at the Grand Canyon. that is one BIG hole in the ground.

enjoy your trip. we sure enjoyed ours and plan to go back soon.
