Sedona Touring by Jeep and Segway
We were up early to take a morning tour of the famous red rocks by Pink Jeep Tours. The weather was perfect and we were treated to wonderful vistas in addition to some amazing off-road gymnastics by the jeep and driver.
Lunch at the Cowboy Club featured Nopales cactus fries. After lunch, I joined Tessa, Katie and Will for a Segway tour. What a hoot. It was incredibly easy to learn to balance and navigate the Segway and what a joy zipping along the sidewalks in the crisp afternoon air. The halfway point of the trip was the famous Chapel of the Holy Cross, a small Catholic church built into the rocks with a stunning view of the red rocks to the west.
A Leisurely Day in Sedona
We had no planned events today so we had an easy day driving just a few miles south on Hwy 179 to take in the views of the fabulous red rocks. Along the way we stopped in at a few galleries then visited the Tlaquepaque village with its dizzying array of art galleries.
In the afternoon, we drove south to Tuzigoot National Monument.

Ironically, perhaps the best vista of the day was the nearly full moon over the red rocks seen from our hotel room balcony.

Grand Canyon, Meteor Crater and Sedona
Today we made our way from the Grand Canyon to Sedona with a side trip to Meteor Crater, east of Flagstaff. We made a final stop at the Watchtower, at the east end of Desert View Drive, then said goodbye to the incomparable Grand Canyon.
