The Mayo Clinic does a medical conference out that way every October and it’s just the best time to visit (in part because of a yearly meteor shower that takes place around the same time). It’s a gorgeous spot. Nice pic, OP!

I've been everywhere except Vermont in the Continental United States and Arizona has the prettiest sunsets and sunrises of the whole country

The seven sacred pools? The wife and I did that and Devils Bridge one day a few years back. Did you find the cave? It was getting late and we were tired so we didn't make it that far.

Yup 🙌🏼 nice. I didn’t even know there was a cave there. We did stop by Devil’s Kitchen though, that place was really interesting. It felt like a warm energy was coming out from the sinkhole.

Great pic. I’m actually camped outside west sedona right now and I gotta say I’m not a fan of the direction this place is heading. The USFS is locking everything down in the surrounding forest and the town is becoming waaaay too popular. A lot has changed in the two years since my last visit and not for the better imo

That’s interesting, thanks for sharing. There was a ton of traffic in town while I was there and the trails were packed. I guess it was spring break apparently, but still seemed way too crowded.

Sedona is straight-up magical. I really don’t know how else to describe it

Spring break is still affecting the area for sure. My issues primarily are with the USFS closing a vast majority of the Coconino to dispersed camping which makes everyone have to be in a handful of small designated spots. The place I’m camped at is overcrowded and trying to get any parking in town or at any trailheads is impossible unless you get there before sunrise. Such a cool spot but sadly it’s not a very welcoming community any more. Have you made it over to Jerome?

Is that on Soldier pass? One of my all time favorite trails

Seven sacred pools on the Soldiers Pass trail. That’s Coffeepot Rock in the background. I know that spot well.

There’s a resort called “Enchantment.” I stayed there and it’s right in the middle of beautiful scenery and the resort itself really capitalizes on the “vibe” of that whole environment. If you can swing it; I’d HIGHLY recommend it.

Yep it’s like a lot of places in colorado, Californiacation is real unfortunately. My view on it is that it’s time to find new cool places to visit that haven’t been affected because there’s plenty of them out there

For a second, I thought there was a car buried in the rocks. Really nice photo, though.

Sedona is an AWESOME place. Had the chance to run a candle factory out there in the early to mid 1990’s. Very beautiful place. They sure don’t like Texans though…

Yeah, love that area. Lived in AZ for a short while. Just loved the nature

I visited in 2021 and it felt drastically touristy. The scenery is truly gorgeous but it was like nature Disneyland with all the Jeeps driving around and packed parking lots around hikes. I enjoyed it but definitely don’t find myself wanting to go back. There’s plenty of other equally beautiful spots in the southwest that feel less like a tourist trap

Seven sacred pools on soldier's pass trail! Literally on it earlier today how funny it popped up just now.

Definitely not the weather we had today though lol

Just got back from my trip to Arizona & I drove 2 hours to & from my hotel to see Sedona. I would do it again, a different kind of land out there dude. If you are any what of a hiker especially. Route 66, some of the best parts still available is up that way too about another hour north of Sedona.

Even just driving through the main road through is just crazy man, especially with all rain they’ve had this winter there is a lot of vegetation & a lot of color in the desert.

Such beautiful scenery in that area. I did a road trip through Arizona in the 90s. It was so spectacular. I need to do that again!

Sedona the most beautiful place to go sit in traffic. I loved it growing up but man does that town not know if it wants to be on traffic lights or round abouts. Which only gets worst when the tourist dont know how to use a round about and causes more traffic..
