    Sedona changed me!
    I moved to Sedona just after I left Microsoft, to be an independent computer consultant.
    When I left, I had been a professional psychic reader for a year, along with the occasional computer repair job.
    The vortexes just brought out the psychic stuff. I could fix your computer, then give you a reading. ;)
    Sedona changed me!

    My first and favorite entrance to Sedona is from the Cottonwood side. I literally cried as I topped the hill and the Sedona canyon came into view. Also cried at the Chapel lighting a candle for loved ones. Was there for a week...very touching experience. Don't miss the Wildflower Bakery if you go.

    We went to Sedona a year ago. My wife had never been there and we arrived in the dark. In the morning when we went outside she was just in awe having no idea how beautiful it was.

    Visited Sedona a few years ago and did a atv ride up in the hills. Got lost but eventually found our way back on the correct trail. Was just the best day.

    The US of A may have ridiculous politics but it has world-class scenic landscapes. I drove through Sedona after coming down from Prescott and Jerome way back in 1993. It was late in the afternoon and the motel prices were beyond my budget in Sedona. So I continued to drive up the canyon to Flagstaff. Ended up staying in a 'Budget' Motel there for that night. Well, it was a 'dive'. A real flea pit. Next day it was on to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Memories.

    20:50 The reason for Sedona being a dark community is because there are two telescopes located east/north east of Sedona. The Discovery Channel Telescope, and the Perkins Telescope...there's also a naval interferometer located near the Perkins Telescope. Flagstaff is also a dark community.

    That Red Rock Scenic Byway sign is relatively new. We first drove in 30 years ago and it’s grown so much. Developers have to follow color code and color their buildings the same as the surrounding land. Great drive in.

    Bell Rock was a picture postcard perfect with that deep red & deep blue sky! Very relaxing ride this morning seeing the Chapel. Sedona was neat with the wavey patterned median. Lots of stores to explore. Restaurants to visit. Such an inviting looking town. I liked the artwork in the center of the round abouts. The last says to me, peacefully sit & read a book. Just all in all a beautiful area to visit!

    Love Sedona. I see they put that barrier up in the middle to cut down on the jay-walking. It is a great base area for the area. It is maybe a 2hr drive to the Grand Canyon. The Pink Jeep Tour is great. The hiking is amazing. The vortexes are those spiritual things. We hiked to one and sat there and I thought i felt something, but it was just gas. My sisters thought it was funny but apparently there are people who really take that stuff seriously. Got a couple of dirty looks.

    The first time I was in Sedona in 1994, there was a two lane road thru town. i went back in 1998 they had widened the road to 4 lanes plus a center turn lane, it was like they moved the buildings back on one side of the road.

    We usually vacation in Sedona every other (non-COVID) year about the time the Christmas lights go up. Beautiful vistas, a few excellent places to eat both cheap and super expensive, you can resort or camp, something for everyone who loves nature. I take 89a from Cottonwood, a much easier ride than all those awful rotaries on 179. Plus you missed most of the business and eating areas of the town on 89a. Come when it’s cooler, avoid the crowds.

    When we visited there I found the lack of street lights made it difficult to find your way around at night. But then the place seems to close down at sunset anyway. We tried the rattlesnake at the Cattlemens Association restaurant. Was mushy and tasted like fish.

    @randallstewart175 3 роки тому +1

    I've driven through Sedona (the town) maybe 5 times over 35 years. At first it was a nothing special wide spot in the road. Later it developed into something of a tourist trap in that the highway is squeezed so badly that you want to stop for some food, if you could find parking. The attraction is the views of the Red Rock buttes along the south half of the highway and the fall colors (in season) of the north half. It is spectacular in comparison to the open desert that covers most of Arizona, but not so much if you come from the Pacific NW as do I. Years ago, Sedona became the destination location for the rich hippies and moon-glow folks from Sourthern California, and the local economy seems to have shifted to sell lots to newcommers, resulting in the suburban sprawl you see in the video. Nice place to drive through or briefly visit. Can't think of any reason to live there for any length of time. Next stop: Flagstaff; Grand Canyon.
