Sedona, Arizona

November 4th, 2011

We traveled to Cottonwood, AZ on Oct. 2nd. It is about 100 miles north of Phoenix. It is a good central location to visit alot of sights, Sedona, Jerome, Prescott and many more.

Day before yesterday, we went to Sedona, the area of red rock cliffs. The drive was beautiful, the contrast of the red cliffs, yellow fall foliage and blue sky was awe inspiring. The drive took us up Oak Creek Canyon, almost back to Flagstaff. It is one of those All American Highways that I mentioned earlier. There are thousands of scenic drives in the US, but only 27 All American Highways. They are so beautiful that it is a destination all in itself.

This is an overview of Sedona.

Between 2 campgrounds, we will be here 5 weeks. Since we left, we have been hustling to see the colder areas that we have never seen before. Now that we are down in AZ, so we plan to do alot of relaxing and revisiting sites we have seen since 1996.

When I took this picture I was at the top viewpoint of Oak Creek Canyon. You can see in the distance 3 levels of roads, which we came up on. It's a long ways down.

I tried to download more pictures, but gave up.
