I fell in love with Sedona from the moment I saw its red rocks. Sedona is surrounded by mountains and hills made of this red dirt. They sell t-shirts there that are dyed with the dirt.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
When we arrived, we walked under this bridge to admire the canyon and surrounding mountains.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The town has a lot of tourism and it is also very new age. Louise and I shopped at a Mexican-style shopping centre that had a lot of arts and crafts stores. They also had a great toy store and I really love those!<\/p>\n

We slept at a hotel that had a pool that Morgane loved and a hot tub that Ghis and I loved. We stayed out late in it and met a great mother and son from Maryland. We had a lot of fun and they didn’t even kick us out of the hot tub until pretty late. We love the Hampton Hotel!<\/p>\n

In the morning, we went for a short hike up a steep trail and after only five minutes, we were at a lookout where we could see Sedona below and mountains all around.<\/p>\n

After that we tried to hike up a neighbouring peak, but only Morgane and Ghis made it to the top. I stopped when it became scrambling more than hiking.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
It's okay! You guys go on without me!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I met a nice couple back at the lookout when I enquired about their musical instruments. It turned out that they were Native American flutes that he had made. He played both of them and I fell in love! There were beautiful to look at and to hear. They had just been at an instrument-making gathering.<\/p>\n

The last thing we did before leaving Sedona was shop at the Natural Foods Store. I loved it and found all my favourites and some new stuff, too. I specialize in healthy junk food. We filled up the van with good stuff for the next few days.<\/p>\n
