RED ROCKS of SEDONA




Our time in Arizona continues with our amazement at how much there is to see in this state. We drove through and around Sedona, and although this touristy town is booming with development, commercial and housing, civilization has not blocked the impressive views of the fabulous red rock formations. This is me at Red Rock State Park. Photos are a record of the trip, but one has to see the beauty in person!



Ben did some trail hiking, and the rest of us drove around looking up and out of the car windows, as our jaws remained dropped nearly to the floor.

The best quote came from Mica who cried "No more rocks!!!"

Lots of Vortex and spiritual healing stuff going on here. The area is indeed mystical. We also drove up to Slide Rock State Park, where Oak Creek has a flatter spillway that has been a natural slip'n'slide for decades.

Our last stop was at Rainbow Trout Farm, where dinner was caught by Ben. Mica did throw a big ball of bait in for the grateful trout, so some enjoyed a risk-free treat. The attendant was kind enough to replenish our bait supply, allowing Ben to land 3 more. That night Ellen did the trout in foil in the oven, as we are prohibited from having a charcoal grill fire.

Thought for this day: Nothing dies harder than a bad idea.
