From Flagstaff we went to Oak Creek Canyon overlook. Its kind of like the Grand Canyon with trees. It looked nice but its 7000ft up and it was windy and freakin' cold! The little information centre said Sedona was 55F and sunny so we decided not to hang about and head down there next. It was voted the prettiest town in America and I can truly see why! It was stunning, surrounded on all sides by mountains carved into the most amazing formations.
Our B&B in Sedona (or Sonoma/Samosa as Stephen kept calling it!) was lovely. It was only a short walk into town and had stunning views of the mountains. We headed off to Red Rock Loop and Oak Creek Crossing - the most photographed spots in town - certainly by us!! The scenery was stunning!
We walked along and had dinner in the Silver Saddle - the posh bit of the Cowboy Club where John Wayne and other movie stars used to hang out. There were around 80 films shot in Sedona. I guess the rock formations are reminiscent of Monument Valley, just with more water. Oak Creek Crossing is famous from many movies where the cowboys splash across the creek on horseback.
