Story Perspectives >>

According to Mikala: Sedona is a very pretty place to visit. The views of the red rock formations are very vivid and spectacular. There are lots of trails and many things to do around this area, although it does get a lot of tourists. We didn't get a chance to visit that long, since we were just driving through.

We stopped at a few locations to take some great pictures. In the town of Sedona, we stopped for lunch before heading on.

Hopefully, we will be back to hike one or more of the many trails located throughout the Sedona area.
