The original plan was to visit two National Parks in Utah, Canyonlands, and Arches. After reassessing the weather, plans changed due to predicted thunderstorms everyday I had planned on being there. So, Sedona Arizona was the next choice. I had never been here before and the funny thing is when I did arrive, there were thunderstorms everyday! I can honestly say that out of all the many places in the world I have traveled to, this was one of the most amazing! Most people don’t consider hiking in 90F-109F a good time, but the sights were worth it. The people in Sedona were very cool, mostly made up of people who left California. They seemed to look at me as if it’s just a matter of time before I leave too. They may be right! I highly recommend seeing this place at least once in your life. Sedona is said to be second in popularity only to the Grand Canyon. I love the canyon, but this place has a different kind of magic. The pictures just don’t do the place justice. See it for yourself!

On the way back we made a quick stop at the Out of Africa Wildlife Park. It was cut short by the most horrific monsoon ever!

Beautiful area and pictures! Were you healed with crystals while you were there?:rolleyes:
I find the people quirky, but the natural sights are worth it. I hope to spend some more time in the area, as I was traveling through and didn't get to see much.
 
You didn't run into Shane SIbert did you? He was in Sedona and posted pics of his trip over on the CK&G forum.
Beautiful place.
 
Great pics! Have you used the LS much yet? Looking forward to getting one.
 
Awesome pics. Inspiring.

Of course, Arizona Ice Tea is made in New York. God Bless marketing.
 
Amazing Pics! Saw some spots I've never seen before in my homestate. Thanks for Sharing.
 
Looks fantastic. Any idea where Snoopy rock got it's name? Is he supposed to be perching up top?
 
Awesome pics buddy! Sedona is truly a magical place. One of the most beautiful places I have ever been as well. I actually think the place is more beautiful after a good thunder storm, brings out all the color in the rocks.
