Early Saturday morning, we drove up to flagstaff on I-17. It is always a beautiful drive, but this time we got to see a few trees that looked like Fall!This is exciting, because we don't really change seasons much in Texas or Phoenix.
When we got to Flagstaff, we turned to go South on Scenic highway 89A toward Sedona :) Our first stop was Oak Creek Canyon.
We drove through the mountains and past the creek until we got to the red rocks in Sedona!
Everywhere we went had the most fantastic views! Check out a few views from restaurants and shopping:
We stayed at a hotel called: Sky Ranch Lodge. I highly recommended it! It was under $100 which is cheap for Sedona. It had a fireplace and the BEST view!! Here are pictures from the hotel:
Chapel of the Holy Cross was a place we heard about.....take a look! It is definitely worth seeing!
Since the Texas Rangers are in the playoffs for the world series, we made time for them too! Dad sent this picture to Channel 4 news in D/FW and apparently it got aired a few times :)
Finally, the most memorable experience was a helicopter ride over the red rock formations! It was a little bumpy because of the storm in the distance, but it was so FUN!
We had a lot of fun with my parents! Arizona is a beautiful place to live!
For Real! I love Sedona, i dont know why I dont visit more often, its so beautiful, and Desi keeps asking me to take her.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you guys had a great time.
I went up to Sedona with a friend last year! I LOVED Chapel in the Rocks. Sooooo gorgeous!!!! Your helicopter ride looked cool! We took a Pink Jeep tour through some canyons.... very bumpy and dusty but really fun!!
