As I put the finishing touches on another section of the California Redwoods Travel Guide (should be posted Friday or Saturday), here's some more views of the Sedona, Arizona area that I visited last week. This is Slide Rock State Park, which this time of year is utterly empty of people, but beautiful. Apparently in the summer it's a madhouse. Found on Highway 89A between Flagstaff and Sedona in Oak Creek Canyon (a great drive, by the way).
Above: the swimming areas at Slide Rock State Park. The pools are actually quite deep, and you can slide down the rocks into the deeper pools. Nature's own waterslide.
Red mountains tower to the west of the creek.
The state has built some rest rooms into the rocks to handle the crowds. It was a pleasant and unpopulated spot in January.
