On Dec. 27, we took off for a vacation in Arizona. The first day we drove to Prescott and enjoyed our stay there. The next day we took the scenic drive through Jerome to Sedona. It is one of the "America's 120 Most Scenic Drives" from the Reader's Digest book with the same name. I am trying to slowly work our way through the book. Here Kirk is standing at the Tuzigoot Monument where Native Americans lived in the 1200's.
Sedona is famous for its beautiful Red Rocks, which surround the city.
We had a spacious room at the Radisson Poco Diablo Resort.It has a view of the golf course with the red rocks in the distance.
Welcome to Sedona!
One day we drove up to Flagstaff and stopped at the Cracker Barrel Country Store.
The Oak Creek Canyon Vista area was a fun place to throw a few snowballs.
Sedona is the New-Age center of the US because of the "vortexes" that are there.There are palm readers, auro photographers, UFO tours, etc. all over town!
We went off-roading twice, meeting the Pink Jeeps coming and; going. We were in our warm 4-wheel drive Road Runner at 70 degreees, while the jeeps were open in the 34 degrees snowy weather. Brrrrr!
Kirk bought a turquoise-inlaid pocket knife at the western shop in Sedona.
The last night we were there it snowed. The snow outlined the layers in the red rock, to make a beautiful photo opportunity.
We drove back through Oak Creek on our way out of town. It was beautiful!
Here we are at Slide Rock. (This is where Heidi said that they bring the kids on their way to California. They stop here to play in the creek and slide on the natural water slide -in the summer). We arrived home in the early evening on New Year's Eve. What a wonderful trip!!!
