Day 47 - Sedona, Arizona

Today's journey was just a short hop of about 100 miles south of the Grand Canyon to Sedona, AZ.

We stopped here for lunch during our last Grand Canyon trip and thought it would be worth a longer visit.  So here we are 15 years later...I think the town may have grown a touch.

We stopped in Williams, AZ on the way south.  It's claim to fame is being the last town on Route 66 that was bypassed by the I-40 freeway.  It's a town full of restaurants and shops that take advantage of that location.

We spent an hour or so there before moving on toward Flagstaff on I-40.  The scenery looks a lot like northern Michigan.

We commented that nearly every state we've been through has their "up north" kind of land that is dominated by pine forests.  We made a provisioning stop at a Walmart in Flagstaff then drove down I-17 about 30 minutes to the road into Sedona.  

It doesn't take long and we see the red rock that this area is known for.


The closer we get, the heavier the traffic through the 9 round-abouts on this road.

The scenery is nice but the traffic is heavy.  

We found our RV park and set up for our 3 night stay.

It's a beautiful park.  

We've booked a Jeep tour of the local attractions tomorrow.  It was recommended by the park staff here.  Should be fun.
