Red Rocks of Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon

April 4th: Sedona and the beginning of Oak Creek Canyon are just 20 miles from Cottonwood on AZ-89, so it was a short ride to see the beautiful red rocks Sedona is famous for and the water of Oak Creek. After more than a month in the desert, it was wonderful to see a creek full of rushing water, rather than sand.

The citizens of Sedona recognize the importance of their beautiful setting, so business signs are kept low, colors harmonize with nature, and traffic lights are painted brown.


Even McDonald's can't detract from the view. No golden arches here!
