There are many places to go but they require transportation.  Phoenix has the
charming aspects of most southwestern cities in that you have to get 
away from them to enjoy them and public transportation is a concept
which died with the wagons of the Donner party.  You might be able to
find a tour bus type deal to take you up to Flagstaff and the south rim of
the Grand Canyon, but I would just rent a car or find some 
fellow unixphiles who will be going out and about.  

My recommendations would include:

	The Grand Canyon  (you are only cheating yourself if you have never seen				it)
	Flagstaff (Northern Arizona University Museum, I am not sure it is open
			on Sundays)
	US 89A (note the A) south of Flagstaff (good route for those of you
		driving from CA)
	Navajo Natl. Monument (SouthEast of the Grand Canyon)
	Saguaro National Monument (near Tucson ~100 miles south of Phoenix)
	If you get down to Tucson you might as well go to Mexico ...
