From Yellowstone to the Sunshine State - Oak Creek Canyon and Sedona, AZ


After I left Moab, I drove to Flagstaff, AZ where I stayed for three nights. During my time there, I went to Oak Creek Canyon; Sedona; and of course, the Grand Canyon.

Here's the part of my time in Arizona I spent in the first two places.

A small cascade in Oak Creek Canyon, part of the Coconino National Forest.

This portion of Oak Creek Canyon has a Narrows-esque feel.

Many people believe these landforms have spiritual properties.
