Sedona Arizona Red Rocks Paradise

This is another blast from the past. On July 4th 2016, I was on a trip to Sedona, Arizona. The outdoor recreation opportunities are a bound in this part of Arizona. You have Oak Creek Canyon and all the red rock formations that dot the Sedona landscape. Hiking, biking and red rock climbing are the sports to do.  You can take a guided jeep tour or even go fly fishing. Arizona is an outdoor paradise. In this part of Arizona there are more than 20 camp grounds in and around the Coconino National Forest. On July 2nd 1908, President Theodore Roosevelt signed a proclamation creating the Coconino National Forest. Sedona is a short 47 mile drive from Flagstaff along state highway 89A. Flagstaff is called the City of Seven Wonders.  There are seven national parks and monuments within a short driving distance from the city. The Grand Canyon National Park, along the scenic route, is only 84 miles.  I really loved my trip to Sedona back in 2016.  Hopefully I can make it back there sometime in the future. 

Today with America in the grip of the Coronavirus Pandemic, many of you are not venturing out into the great outdoors just like am not.  It really pains me not to get outside and enjoy mother nature. But with the pandemic hot spots like Florida and Arizona, the smart thing to do is to spend your time planning your next trip staying safe at home until it is truly safe to venture outside on extended trips.  The CDC has a great travel web page where one can get information about traveling. Click Here for the link. 

Until next time, be safe in the sun and have a great day in the great outdoors.
