Sweet Sedona



One of the great things about road trips is the unplanned surprises that we stumble upon. Zooming up US-89 toward the North side of the Grand Canyon, we had the option of stopping in Sedona or just continuing with our route. We decided to stop, and we were not disappointed.

Sedona lies in the middle of Red Rock country – towering buttes and spires of red rocks that are unbelievably deep in their color. It made from a dramatic background for the town. The town itself was very cute, maybe a bit touristy with all those tour shops and time share stands. In truth, we didn’t spend much time looking at the town. Our gaze was squarely set on the beautiful scenery and thinking how lucky we were. We would definitely come back to Sedona and maybe enjoy some of the world-class spas in the area.

Hey! Is this the little town on route 66 where the cars movie was filmed? Oh, you know, I know it's a cartoon and stuff but it looks like the same place. What was that place? Oh ya, radiator springs! I love that movie!

The scenery does look like Radiator Springs, but the town is in much better shape than the town in the movie.
