Sedona, AZ

Red Rocks, Sedona,AZ. (Tomasito photo)

We visited Sedona--one of the most unusual small towns in Arizona--which probably means in the world--on our recent "Journey to the East".

It had been some years since I was last there and Sedona has changed a LOT.

In fact--the little village  of Sedona I remember has completely disappeared.

The area has always been known for beautiful red cliffs and rock formations--nicely set off by intense blue sky and the elegant green of the pinon and other pine trees. But it sure has filled up with new highway round-a-bouts, motels, gift shops, fast-food restaurants, houses and tourists.

Well, what else is new? Flagstaff is a rapidly growing university town a few miles to the  north and Phoenix---a mega-city now--is just a few miles to the south.
