CA to AZ Road Trip Photo Suggestions?

[StevenAunan]

I'm driving from Sacramento, CA, to baseball spring training in Phoenix (meeting my dad and brother-in-law there). Besides Death Valley, are there any photography locations you could suggest?

1. Sacramento to Lone Pine along US 395
2. Lone Pine to Death Valley
3. Death Valley to Boulder City
4. Boulder City to Phoenix

Not sure what the return route will be, but I have four days to play with.

Its still a bit early, but if you get enough rain (and the timing works out) you might get in on a mass flower bloom.
