May 18 and 23, 2005: Sedona, AZ

This is a combination of three previous posts. It is part of a trip from Joplin, MO to Needles, CA with side-trips to Phoenix, AZ and Las Vegas, NV. On the way to and from Flagstaff to Phoenix, we stopped in Sedona to see the red rocks. Since I had to do some editing on these posts anyway, I decided to combine the two Sedona stops.

Hwy 89 and Sedona, May 18, 2005

These views are along Arizona Highway 89, heading South toward Sedona.




Fun with water fingering it's way across rocks.






I thought I saw a face in this rock. Do you see it?




Leaving Phoenix, May 23, 2005

As you drive North on Highway 17 out of Phoenix, the Saguaro cacti thin out until there are no more. I always miss them.




Another Look at Sedona, May 23, 2005


We diverted over to Sedona for another look at the red rocks. These are views from an observation point above the town and to the East.
