      Sedona pink Jeep tours

      23. april 2019, Forenede Stater ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

      There were bright pink jeeps for 8; so 5 of us and 3 others. No one really knew what to expect. There had to be 10 jeeps that took off at once in different directions for different types of tours. We were on the broken arrow. We were all guaranteed a great time as everyone who gets done says they loved it. Ok, lets go. It ain’t cheap (unless I’m talking to Paul- wink). It better be worth it.

      We hopped in the Jeep and headed south of town toward the towering red rocks framing the city. Our guide, Daniel, was great.Very knowledgeable of the area, seasoned in hiking, biking and off-roading expert and a funny guy. He was super friendly. He turned off of the main road toward the rocks. To the left, a parking lot. To the right, an uneven road that he informed us was to remind any drivers that were going the wrong way and would have some explaining to do to the car rental places. We bumped and bobbled over the ground as he informed us that this was nothing. We all half-heartedly laughed with a little worry in our chuckle.

      Let me tell you, we had so much fun. It was some true off-roading. He drove us to the top of the red rock for some views you won’t get just walking around. You can hike it but the jeeps are fun. You bounce around everywhere. He got us on some angles that caused to get real close to our neighbors. We got out a few times to climb higher up for better views. He even said the jeeps used to drive to the tops of some of these rocks. Aww, hella no. I was already scared. The red rocks are not mountains but caused by erosion. They are continuously eroding. One end of the canyon where we were was actually connected to the other end a million years ago.

      in bits. Everyone seems to like it.

      Today was a great day. We got up leisurely, had breakfast, and headed to Sedona for the day. Paul and I have been there and we like it there. We thought the kids would, too. We stopped in Flagstaff for an oil change which Ford was supposed to do at the last check up I had. Grrr. The drive to Sedona is beautiful. You travel through the mountains along switchback roads with breathtaking views. It still amazes me on these road trips how different every turn of the roads can be. The types of rocks change, the shapes of the rock changes and the trees change from one area to the next and sometimes only a few miles apart. Once you traverse the mountains to Sedona, the layered red rocks begin to frame the landscape. Where the day before we were looking into the Grand Canyon, now it feels like you are in it. It is a stunning landscape.The town emerges from the red rock nestled tightly into what the locals call their island within the rocks. It is strikingly beautiful.

      We packed a lunch and had a little picnic before exploring the town. We went in and out of gift shops which Ben just did not understand. “Everything is the same in every place. Why...?” Dad, “I know. It doesn’t make sense. Come on.” After we wandered for a while, played some instruments in the street and pet some animals, we checked in for our Jeep tour which started at 4 PM. We grabbed some homemade ice cream and waited for our tour.

      Rancho Sedona RV Park

      25. september 2022, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 70 °F

      We made it all the way to Sedona last night. With a last minute reservation, we arrived here at the RV Park after dark and got ourselves set up by flashlight. This might just be the best RV Park ever, certainly the nicest one I've stayed at. Our premium site, the only one that was available, backs up to Oak Creek and we can here it bubbling from our RV site. These sites go for $114 a night, so they better be premium. Everything is stellar and the bath and laundry areas are very clean.

      It was dark driving in, so we are anxious to explore. Sedona is a lot different than I expected. It's chilly in the evenings high 50s. It's lush green, with trees and creeks and mountains. Downtown is quaint, upscale and a bit rustic like a small mountain lodge type of town.

      We made Spaghetti sauce and drank a bottle of wine before falling asleep with the windows open.

      Today we plan to go into town, do a jeep tour and come back for walking and shopping Sedona. Tomorrow, we're planning to drive and hike the 4 vortexes.

      Sedona Pink Jeep Tour

      25. september 2022, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 86 °F

      We signed up for the Pink Jeep Touch the Earth Tour that explored Sedona's vortexes. Michelle was our tour guide and there were five of us on the tour.

      We drove past, around and behind Thunder Mountain, the very mountain that the Disney ride is modeled after. We went to Cathedral Rock which is one of the four vortexes. We learned about local wildlife including the many varieties of rattle snakes and the javelinas, but we didn't see any today. We did see plenty of cactus and prickly pear fruit, Juniper trees, agave, yucca, and the Ocotillo "Little Torches". We heard that we should make it a point to go to the Airport Mesa, another one of the vortexes.

      We went to the Boyton Canyon area and Fay Canyon. Here we went off road through steep and bumpy terrain and puddles to Mystic Vista for a view. We took a few minutes to feel the energy.

      Sedona is a dark sky community, meaning at night they have a lights out or low lights policy. The purpose of the dark sky policy is to protect plants and animals in their natural environment.. Another great benefit is that you can see all the stars in the sky.

      After the jeep tour, we headed across the street to the Cowboy Club where we enjoyed cactus fries and prickly pear sauce. Kris had a Prickly pear mojito that was so strong she could barely ride her bike back to the campground.

      Shopping Sedona

      25. september 2022, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F

      We rode our bikes to downtown Sedona and had a couple of hours to shop before our Jeep tour. We got some caffeinated beverages for energy and hydrated well as it was very hot. We shopped for gem stones, hats, t-shirts and magnets. I bought a couple of stones, a carnelian and a lapis, and Kris bought a ring.Læs mere
