Sedona Arizona Oak Creek Canyon Tour
April 112010
In Sedona at the east end of Uptown is the entrance to Oak Creek Canyon. As you travel through the canyon, highway 89A meanders alongside Oak Creek below the towering formations. You’ll encounter several lodges, fishing holes, picnic areas, great hiking trails and campgrounds.
Further up Oak Creek Canyon is Slide Rock State Park. The natural water slides and pools carved into the red rocks provide a perfect setting for family fun. Plan to arrive at the park early because many days it fills to capacity.
Eventually the highway winds its way up the switchbacks to a scenic overlook, through a Ponderosa Pine forest and into Flagstaff for a total journey of about 25 miles from the “Y”.

Zulu our trusted pouch nicknamed “The Zoo Dog!” kicks off this fun intro! We would never think of leaving home without taking her with us! Our first of seven DVD’s in the Boondocking In Arizona series includes exciting trips to fun places like Peralta Trails in the Superstition Mountains. Superior with Boyce Thompson Arboretum State Park. The Beeline Highway with stops up and over Four Peaks to Roosevelt Lake and into the ruggedly remote Sierra Ancha Wilderness, touring the rural farming town of Young. Sycamore Creek including rare footage of Bushnell Tanks recorded before the recent Edge Fire’s damage, with a nearby excursion high atop Mount Ord. Then, it is off to hidden, FREE CAMPING spots near Christopher Creek and a cool, crisp Ponderosa Pine and Aspen forest around Woods Canyon Lake entitled; “The Mogollon Rim Lakes Recreation Area.” That’s not all, we take you to many brisk and crystal clear, summertime swimming holes along the East Verde River, then up to Strawberry and an ever popular dive into Fossil Creek, with a side splash to the Verde River’s Hot Springs. The fun doesn’t stop there we finish off with a real “Prime Rib” special near the Field of Dreams, Potato Lake, Clints Well, and ending with spectacular Blue Ridge Reservoir.
An unbelievable vertical climb out of and into Mooney Falls. This is the only way to get down to the base of the falls. To see more about this and other Arizona Campgrounds, visit www.camparizona.com
Travel around Nevada and Arizona
Mooney Falls is about a mile below the more famous Havasu Falls. This is a shot just before going into the first of two caves on the way down to the bottom of the falls.
Visiting Arizona from Chicago? This travel spot highlights the variety that Arizona has to offer, from the Grand Canyon to shopping in downtown Scottsdale. And although we love the ‘other’ cities featured in the spots, the concept was to encourage the desire of Chicagoans to visit (or revisit) the Grand Canyon State. With the Cubs and the Sox here for Spring Training, Arizona really is like a second home anyway.
Travel Arizona is beautiful and travel Sedona, Arizona to one of the country’s truly chic towns. Travel Arizona, travel Sedona to the gateway to Arizona’s Red Rock country, the gateway to the Grand Canyon.
Visiting Arizona from LA? This travel spot highlights the variety that Arizona has to offer, from the Colorado River to golf in Phoenix. And although we love Southern California (don’t tell anyone, but we visit LA from time to time), the concept was to encourage the desire of Southern California residents to visit (or revisit) the Grand Canyon State. Sometimes you just need to get away, right?
This is a travel review featured on www.ReviewingAmerica.com on the city of Scottsdale, Arizona. Scottsdale offers a wide variety of activities and accommodations, so if you are thinking about traveling to Arizona or if you just want to learn a little more about the area, take a look! It is adjacent to Phoenix and less than a day’s drive from the Grand Canyon. There is more to do here than you’d think. It is truly an amazing place.
As a former bellman for Fred Harvey Lodges on the South Rim, of the Grand Canyon National Park, I made this DVD especially for those wanting to get away from the camera clicking masses that visit the canyon every year. This DVD takes you truely “off the beaten path” to places only the most seasoned Grand Canyon visitors know about. Some of these locations are more common to Mule Deer and Pink Canyon Rattlers than weekend warriors!
