We didn't realise that Sedona isn't heavily visited during the summer, but the autumn is peak season. We were unable to get accommodation here: everywhere has been booked out for months. So we contented ourselves with a delightful day trip. It is not a long drive from Flagstaff, and the narrow road cuts through mountain forests of Ponderosa pines and steep mountain passes. Suddenly the rocks become a deep red, and you are in Red Rock valley where Sedona is located. The scenery is just gorgeous wherever you look. The town itself is delightful, full of interesting art galleries, nice open air eating places and places offering fortune telling, psychic and tarot readings, or day spa treatments. It was a fascinating, fun day. This is definitely a place to return to, but next time perhaps not in its busiest time when it is crowded with tourists.
