Words cannot accurately describe the beauty of Sedona. This small town is nestled at the base of the Mogollon Rim in Northern Arizona in the middle of red rock country. The region was formed when erosion carved through the sandstone rock and created the cliffs and rock formations seen around the region. Sedona sits at the top of the Verde Valley in central Arizona which itself used to sit at the bottom of a large ocean.
Arizona was subject to many geologic events which created the Grand Canyon, regional volcanos, and the beautiful scenery around Sedona. I spent many days in this region during college and also exposed hundreds of rolls of film. This time, I let a professional do the driving courtesy of Pink Jeep Tours.
Their Broken Arrow Tour took me down the off road trails near town to places not easily visited by rental car. The tour was simply amazing with incredible scenery and a great tour guide and group. I highly recommend taking the tour if your get the chance. It was a great experience.
Of course I had to get my obligatory self portrait in front of the red rocks. On this trip, I was able to bring my Nikon D5100 camera with the standard 18-55 mm DX lens. I used a polarizing filter to accentuate the blue skies and red rocks for even better pictures.
We encountered some mountain bikers and other jeep tours on the ride. You can also rent your own off road jeep to drive around the area, but I found it much better to leave it to the professionals.
