Sedona


We arrived in Sedona just before sunset on Friday and I must say the views are spectacular.  It’s kind of like the Grand Canyon in reverse – the Grand Canyon is a big hole in the ground while the red rocks of Sedona tower above the landscape. 
Sedona is a small town (about 10,000 residents) that is nestled right against some of the most scenic rock formations.  It was first settled by Anglos inn 1876 and was formally established in 1902, when Theodore Carlton Schnebly, the city's first postmaster, applied for the name of Schnebly’s Station.  But that name was too long for a postal stamp so they settled on Theodore’s wife’s name – Sedona!  You can learn more about Sedona at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedona,_Arizona.

They resort we are staying at is a little old but nice nonetheless.  Here is our apartment…

 
And our balcony.


Here is the view from the balcony.

 
And some other views from the property.
 


While we are here, we plan to spend some serious time at the pool.
