Red Rock Country

We are staying a few days in Sedona, one of my favorite places.

Its easy to see why.  Its so scenic.

Can you spot Snoopy Rock?

We hiked to the Chapel of the Holy Cross, a church built into the mountain.

And we hiked around Bell Rock.  

I could spend many more days in Sedona, but we have to move on with fond memories of the beautiful red rocks.

Two Fun Hikes

Today we left Winslow and drove to Walnut Canyon National Monument.

800 years ago, native people called Sinagua, created dwellings in the cliff walls sheltered by overhanging rock shelves.

Their homes lined the sides of the 370 feet tall canyon.

After 180 steps down, we walked along a trail that hugged the side of the canyon.  

It was a walk back in time.

Then we drove south to the red rocks of Sedona, stopping for this deer on our way.

Another hike with lots of steps which led to...

Devil's bridge.

(I was too scared to walk out on the bridge, but got a photo of Rick checking out the view!)

Red Rock Country

We headed north to Beautiful Sedona.

The view heading into town.

We hiked the Courthouse Butte Loop which started at the Bell Rock.

Courthouse Butte

We passed this big round rock behind Courthouse Butte.

This formation is called Rabbit Ears.

Red spires in the distance.

Snoopy Rock from our campsite.

And a campsite squirrel.
