June 15 - Flagstaff AZ


Took the scenic route to Sedona – beautiful scenery all the way – but around Sedona, it’s spectacular.  We were last here about 25 years ago and although the town itself has grown tremendously and become quite touristy, the scenery is unequalled.

As we were driving on 89A south we came across Slide Rock State Park which we would have loved to have seen.  The lot was full and cars were lined up waiting to get in.  What we could see from the road was amazing and we were quite disappointed that we couldn’t get in (possibly because it’s the weekend.)

There’s no way our photos can show the real thing in the Sedona area – I think only a professional along with possibly a helicopter or plane can come close to the real thing.  The colors are magnificent.  Nevertheless, we are including some of our photos such as they are.



One of the places I really wanted to see was the Chapel of the Holy Cross.  Unfortunately, the RV was not permitted into the upper parking lot and there was no way I could walk from the lower lot so I had to be content with photos.


We’ve moved to another campground which is not as aesthetically pleasing in terms of plants, grass, etc. BUT it has other pluses.  First, the place is immaculate – the washrooms, laundry, game room, lobby, etc. are fantastic.  Add to that the humor of the owners – all the signs add humor to whatever it is they are wishing to impart.  Add to that the fact that it is really an adult campground as there is nothing here for families and most of the rigs are the biggies worth at least a quarter of a million dollars.
