I'm probably not the best person to ask about the Grand Canyon. I've seen it a few times and I do think it's one of those things that you need to see before you die. Personally though I was fine with seeing it and leaving, but a lot of people could spend days looking at it. So it just kind of depends on what you want.
I did forget about Jerome, which I thought was pretty cool.
And I second the tacos!
Saint Xavier's mission I thought was a cool little spot, but I would say only if you are in the area. We checked it out the same day as the Titan II. My dad, grandpa, and I loved the Titan. No one else did though...

If you're a gear head I would highly suggest the gold king mine in Jerome. Don the owner of the mine has a huge car/truck/heavy equipment collection that is scattered on his property. If you google search it I'm pretty sure he has a website.

I've done fly and rides there in Feb. As has been mentioned, the elevations will likely have snow, so cross that **** off your list. Keep it simple and get some local day rides in. Tortilla Flats is a popular one. Not a long ride, but take what you can get that time of year.

Be aware that we here in Arizona are in the grasp of possibly a record setting El Nińo winter, which means higher than normal precipitation and lower temps. Here in Tucson we just ended three straight days of rain and snow. I would recommend not going north of Phoenix in Feb., but then again see what the weather is when you get here. I'm going out for a ride this afternoon when it warms up to about 50.

The highlight is the bar at the end of the paved road, a reservoir, and a fake mining town. But the scenery out and back is pretty neat. Not stunning, but when you know it's 15 degrees back home and 2 feet of snow on the ground, it's pretty friggin great.
Highlights -
Old Mining Town
The Bar
The rental bike - 06 RG (Holy sh*t - it's been 10 years???)
The rental place will have maps to good riding in the area as well.
