There are few places on earth with
the spectacular red rock scenery of Sedona, Arizona (AZ), a place of
magnificent, towering formations, brilliant sunsets, and clear, starlit
nights. One of the most memorable “gateways” to the area is the scenic
drive from the near-7,000 ft. elevation of Flagstaff, through Oak Creek
Canyon, to Sedona at 4,500 feet, with impressive red rock cliffs rising
above and lush greenery bordering a year-round bubbling creek below.
Toward the end of the Canyon drive, the castle-like natural monument,
Cathedral Rock, looms in the distance. Passing through Uptown Sedona,
other famous red rock spires take form, including Coffeepot Rock,
Chimney Rock and Thunder Mountain in West Sedona; a short drive down
Highway 179 brings close-up views of Courthouse Butte, Snoopy Rock and
Bell Rock in the Village of Oak Creek. (Source: http://www.earthcam.com/cams/arizona/sedona/) |
