Arizona

Vinny ready for bed in Blythe


We continued our drive east onto Sedona.  We found a great hotel that had Animal Planet on the tv (for Vinny) and Liza and I took a jeep tour out to the Red Rocks.  I am not much for jostling and loud engines but it was a great way to get out to see the amazing rocks and enjoy the sunset.

Saturday morning we got up before dawn and took a beautiful and inspirational three hour hike around Sedona.  Vinny enjoyed it as well and his paws still have pink hue from the red mud. The sky was clear and there was still a dusting of snow in the shady spots and on high ground.

We headed out of Sedona towards Flagstaff.  We both decided that we could not be so close and fail to see the Grand Canyon.  Although we would only have the afternoon and were hauling a trailer, which limits our parking and some driving options, we headed to the Park.

It is an amazing experience and for the second time in one day Liza and I decided that we would have to come back and spend some more time in this region!  The Park was not crowded and the National Park Service does a wonderful job of making the experience a good one. I thoroughly enjoyed the visit and would love to come back again and spend more time exploring.


We sadly left the park and continued on our way. There must have been some event in Flagstaff that night because we could not find a hotel room in town.  We pressed on to Winslow "Taking it Eeeeasy."
