Couldn’t agree more. It’s beautiful but not super unique

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

Definitely worth the stop if you’re into history at all. Well preserved boom town

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?

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

What’s your rig and setup for this shot? Great job on it
