There are places I have visited often enough they feel familiar, they remind me of old friends I am excited to see again. For me, Sedona is one of those places. The hiking is impeccable, the weather fantastic and the views are something out of a desert dream. If I ever had to relocate to Arizona, I would only choose to live in Sedona. Hiking midday, midweek in the middle of May we had the place to ourselves., it was such a perfect day.

All the rock formations have names, if I lived here I would be certain to learn them all. |

Even desert plants come into full bloom in the spring time. |

Trust me, there is no shortage of prickly and spiky plants to poke yourself with. |
