Hundreds of them .What do want to see ? How far away from civilization do you want to get ? Does driving three dimensional roads scare you ? Does being 100 miles way from a good hospital scare you ? Does being in a place where cell
phones don't work scare you ?

Btw what's your starting point ?
A couple of personal favorites
From The Cameron AZ Trading Post which has a good restaurant and nice hotel and is located at the jct of US 89 & SR 64:
1) US89 N to Bitter Springs> Left to US 89 A > stop at Lee's Ferry then uphill to Jacob Lake > Fredonia AZ>left on AZ SR 389 which becomes UTSR 59 and into Hurricane UT [get gas ]>SR 9 East into Zion NP > US 89 S into Page AZ and back to Cameron .It's about 400 spectacular miles .If you use mapquest it looks like this: Cameron AZ>Jacob Lake AZ >Colorado City AZ>Hurricane UT >Cameron AZ
2)CameronAZ> Bluff UT > Ganado AZ> Tuba City AZ > Cameron AZ >455miles on mostly 2 lane roads that traverses some of the most awesome landscape in America
Loops 1 &2 are the reasons that you learned how to drive in the first place Rent a Mustang convertible and turn the heat on if need be.

Tons, up North through the Navajo Res. there is a ton, plus if your out of Phoenix, heading East on the 60 near Miami is very pretty and you could head up to Pinetop where there is trees for the weekend. There is a casino there with a nice hotel.

We took highway 17 north from Phoenix. In about two hours you will be in Sedona.Gorgeous! Two more hours north and you are at the Grand Canyon. You can't get more scenic than that!! Of coarse, I am from Missouri so I'm easy to impress!

My favorite is up 89A. You take the Sedona turn off from I-17 & then go North on 89A, it takes you all the way to Flagstaff. There are apple stands along the way, the creek & the colored leaves.

I have to agree. Oak Creek Canyon is one of the past! But there are many.
