I live very close to here (Prescott) and can tell you 48 is a hidden gem! The entire northern half of the state is gorgeous. Sedona is just the tip of the iceberg!

I just drove through the full stretch of Northern Arizona and it was absolutely jaw-droppingly beautiful from beginning to end.

One of the most memorable days of my life was seeing that there was a solar eclipse in the newspaper that was going to cross the grand canyon, dropping everything I had that day and blasting up I-17 to go see the eclipse.

Even though it was only an annular eclipse rather than a total eclipse, just being at the grand canyon with all of these people experiencing the nature of the canyon and the eclipse happening, where everyone is there together to experience the eclipse was absolutely mystical.

Definitely one of the greatest days of my life.

This Sedona place has been popping up a lot here lately, and seems absolutely gorgeous

Cocosito t1_j777gq2 wrote

It's quite the sight!

I think it doesn't get as much attention as other areas because it's not a national park. It's kind of a mess of private land, state and municipal parks as well as BLM land. There's a ton of natural beauty but also a lot of commercial development.

It's kinda helping it, doesn't it. Gorgeous, yet not that many tourists

I used to live below coffee pot rock in the late 90s. We used to drive out of Sedona towards the “city” of Cottonwood and half way in between, go down dirt roads to get high. Half of the time, the local cops wouldn’t notice and when they did, we all survived the experience of being discovered and got taken home.

This part of the desert is something else. I live in Maine, and I love the landscape here and thought I could never want to live anywhere else.

After driving through, I would absolutely live in Sedona.

Looks like the backside of courthouse butte

It's the courthouse butte but I'm not sure if this is the backside or the frontside but this is like quarter miles from the trailhead

I'll be in Sedona in the morning. Any recommended easy hikes with a view?

chandan_2294 OP t1_j75r2ok wrote

Bell Rock and Courthouse loop is beautiful and this picture was taken on this particular trail.

Sedona Airport loop trail is beautiful and the hike is short with views at every step.

Cathedral rock is another classic.

If you have time, I'd highly recommend the Subway Cave hike.

I hope you enjoy your time in Sedona! :)

Cathedral Rock is a favorite of mine too, but I was there last week and couldn't make it to the halfway point because this cold snap covered the rock with real slippery ice.

chandan_2294 OP t1_j76crn5 wrote

Ah, bummer!!

I didn't get a chance to hike the Cathedral Rock but Sedona is one of the places I know I'll be returning to visit. Planning to go back in October and do other hikes I missed out this time 🤞

Thanks for the recs! We ended up doing the Bell Rock/Courthouse loop and it was an incredible hike. Definitely looking to come back for the others.

Devil's Bridge is a good one just overpopulated these days, so, I'd suggest starting early. October would be a perfect time to hike Wet Beaver Creek (yeah, that's the name they went with lol) and Thunder Mountain is an otherworldly experience, especially if you can witness a haboob roll in!

Haha, I love it!!

Though, I'm curious to know why you wouldn't move to Vegas even if you were forced at gunpoint? Lol

Love Sedona area, have visited multiple times and enjoyed them all. Great views, great food, and always somewhere to explore.

I legitimately want to see someone try and post a bad picture they took of a landscape in Sedona. I contend it can’t be done.

I’ve been to Sedona. Beautiful city to be sure. It’s too bad it’s become more of a tourist trap.

Nice bird. Looks like a Bluebird? Can't make out the throat but looks like an Eastern or Western.

chandan_2294 OP t1_j76obm7 wrote

A bluebird, indeed! But not sure the exact type 😅

ArgonGryphon t1_j76oton wrote

If you have any other shots where you can see the throat color better that would cinch it. Blue throat = Western, orange throat = Eastern!

chandan_2294 OP t1_j76pizt wrote

I don't have any close up shots of the bird but I remember it had a blue coat. I don't recall seeing orange colour on any of its body parts.

I didn't even know I had captured the bird until I bumped up the shadows while editing the picture haha!!

ArgonGryphon t1_j76qn12 wrote

You can see the orange breast well enough, though muted. Looking on eBird though, it does look like the vast majority of reports in the area are Western, so you could lean that way!

I believe that’s bell rock? I climbed quite a ways up it when I was sixteen. I climbed until my dad screamed at me to get my ass back down to them. 😂 I love climbing but man it made him nervous on our vacays
