Sedona

Whenever I told anyone that I was going to visit Arizona they would tell me to be sure to visit Sedona. And they were right. Whereas the splendor of the Grand Canyon was beneath the ground level, everything in Sedona was overhead. The color of the rock formations was amazing and it was everywhere you looked. Even the town carried the color since most of the buildings were the same color and sometimes even the sidewalks.

Remember that all pictures are clickable.

This is the rock formation that greets you as you drive into town from the south. I thought it looked like a wedding cake, but it is called Bell Rock. It is probably the most popular site for postcards and paintings.

This beautiful church, the Chapel of the Holy Cross, was built into the hillside. It was a steep walk to get to the top, but well worth the huffing and puffing. The church itself was rather small, but had a lovely gift shop (of course) and fabulous views.

We were also told to be sure to take a Pink Jeep tour and we did. Claire is missing since she is taking this picture. We took the Rim Tour, one of several offered. It was a two hour drive and and gave a splendid views of the terrain.
