Sedona & Grand Canyon June 22-27

[timh]

Just got back yesterday from an nice long trip to Sedona. This was a comfy trip staying at a timeshare resort but we had tons of fun anyway.

We left Tucson Tuesday morning around 7am. We took the freeway through Phoenix but then headed toward Wickenburg to go up through Prescott the back way. My wife had never seen much north of Phoenix so we had to take the scenic route.

We ran pretty much non-stop to Prescott and then planned on taking our time from there. After eating lunch we stopped by the Overland Journal/Adventure trailer offices to say hi. They were having loads of fun unloading the OvExpo Safari tent from the 26' box van that it took to haul it.

After that we cruised through the Granite Dells a bit.

I somehow didn't take any pictures between Prescott and Sedona...Oh well.

The view from our patio.

A few sightseeing pics from our 1st full day in town.

This was a family trip. We met up with the in-laws and toured around with them.

Thursday my father-in-law rented a Jeep so we could hit some trails. We started out on Broken Arrow, then Shnebly Hill, and finished off the day with Soldier Pass.

Friday we decided to head up to the Grand Canyon. We stopped at the town of Bedrock on the way. Talk about old...I think it has seen better days.

While touring Bedrock we discovered that it backs right up to a runway. There was a vintage air show and we got to see this old P40 flying around.

Then off to the big hole in the ground!

Saturday we stayed close. We drove up through Oak Creek Cyn and went for a short hike.

Our last night was a beautiful one.

We left for home Sunday morning but decided to stop and see Montezuma Well on the way.

And that's it. We had a great time. I can't wait to get back up to Sedona sometime for a good mountain biking trip!

that's going to be one hell of a brute come the rut... i'm sure there's no hunting in these parts which is why you got this shot and this deer is so massive. :drool:

nice trip, too.:ylsmoke:

He was standing about 15 feet from a 4 way stop inside Granda Canyon Natl Park. Saw him on the way in and he was still there on the way out. I stopped for a picture but when I did so did everyone else. I wanted a better picture but the crowd got out of hand so I left.
