Sedona, AZ – 2009

This wasn’t a two wheeled adventure but I wanted to get the pictures in the gallery because this is another beautiful area in the American South West.  Our friends KJ & Jackie invited us share a week with them in their Sedona timeshare condo.  We flew down on August 28th and flew back on September 6th.  The flight going down to Phoenix wasn’t very crowded and we managed to not have a third person in our seat row making the trip a little less sardine like .  Our friends drove from their home in Lake Havasu City to pick us up and then we drove to Sedona.

I have broken the pictures up into several galleries by location or activity.  The top level gallery can be found HERE.  We did something pretty much every day during our stay be it driving around Sedona shopping or seeing the sights, a four hour Pink Jeep Tour, a one hour helicopter charter around Sedona, Meteor Crater, a walk around Jerome, Montezuma Castle, Montezuma Well, Tuzigoot, Fort Verde State Park, Oak Creek Canyon or Red Rock State Park.  We also had the opportunity to visit with my wife’s cousin who lives near Prescott.  She drove to Sedona and met us at the condo.  We had lunch and spent some time catching up on the many years since they had last seen each other. 

We certainly didn’t hit every attraction in the area and I know we didn’t see a fraction of the shops and galleries that seem to be everywhere.  We can certainly see why this is a very popular area and we thank our friends for sharing this special place with us.  This was my second trip to the four corners area this year and there was just so much to see and do that I still just ended up doing a sampling of them.  We will definitely need to do more traveling to the region.

So after a fantastic ten day adventure we had to head back home.  KJ & Jackie drove us back to Phoenix to catch our flight back to Seattle.  They would have a three or more hour drive home.  We did discover while we were there that there is air service to Flagstaff which would have made things a little more convenient for our friends.  We got to the airport early enough that we were able to upgrade to First Class for $50 each so we splurged a little .  It made for a comfortable flight home.
