Oak Creek Canyon
This is an incredibly beautiful drive from Flagstaff, AZ, to Sedona, AZ, via Oak Creek Canyon on 89A. The speed limits are low; the roads narrow, winding, and exhilarating; and the mountain and rock views breathtaking. It is a must-see for anyone, even those, like me, who really don't care for winding mountain roads.

The red rocks of Sedona are another of Arizona's natural beauties and a sight to behold. Sedona is a tourist mecca, full of T-shirt shops and unique storefronts that sell a little bit of everything. There is beautiful Southwestern art, figurines, etc. We took a jeep tour through the red rocks in Coconino National Forest and it was thrilling. The drivers are entertaining, chock-full of information about the natural flora and fauna, and experts at navigating the jeeps over the red rocks. The tour company we used was Day in the West and it included a jeep tour over the red rocks, an hour of horseback riding, and an old-fashioned Cowboy Dinner at the ranch...the steaks were DELICIOUS! There are many other tour companies that operate out of Sedona.

The drive through Oak Creek Canyon to Sedona, south of Flagstaff, was pretty, but there were few places to pull off the road to take pictures, and special parking permits were required. The view of the red rock formations around Sedona was pretty, but it was extremely dry and hot the day we were there. It was nice to see, but not one of the more exciting parts of our trip.

Highway 89A between Flagstaff and Sedona winds through Oak Creek Canyon. It is great driving down it during the day. There is a wonderful lookout point at the start where local Native Americans sell their goods and the views are spectacular. It is only about 20 miles in distance, but most of the trip inludes many 15mph, 300-degree corners with a steep drop-off on one side. It is so beautiful as you drive down and then wind through the canyon to Sedona.

This is a smaller canyon, but there is still a little hiking. It has interesting sites. Like the others in the area, it has its own special nature. The kids enjoyed it.
