A leisurely drive to Flagstaff from Sedona on Alt 89. Oak Creek Canyon. If you're in a hurry use I-17.

First, a “must see” in Sedona:::::

 The Chapel of the Holy Cross, Sedona's Architectural Landmark and Shrine

Below the chapel you have a very large, 44,000 square foot house.

It pays to have numerous European and U. S. patents. For visitors take on Sedona::CLICK:: Next Oak Creek Canyon:: on 89 Alt.

A last look at Cathedral Rock.

State Rt. 89A descends a breathtaking series of switchbacks. Read More

The views are amazing, but there are also native Americans who set up tables with their jewelry creations…………

The Oak Creek Canyon-Sedona area is second only to Grand Canyon as the most popular tourist destination in Arizona.

Book your wedding now…LOL

We then drove through Flagstaff on our way to The Cameron Trading Post which we used as a base camp to explore the south rim of the Grand Canyon

We have been in the car for awhile and are glad to arrive at our destination…

Cameron Trading Post circa 1920..The Navajo name. for the Cameron Trading Post was Na’nI’A HasAnI (Old Bridge), It is located on US highway 89 54 miles north of Flagstaff in Coconino County, AZ, at the junction with the road to the east entrance of the Grand Canyon national park. READ MORE

Cameron Trading Post circa 2012 with Joe Todd and Linda………

A view of The Little Colorado River from our room and a sunset to.

This is Navajo Country..

The Little Colorado River is a river in the U.S. state of Arizona, providing the principal drainage from the Painted Desert region. Together with its major tributary, the Puerco River, it drains an area of about 26,500 square miles

This walking bridge over the river is not open to the public and is actually owned by a pipeline company. Are you hungry yet???

All the Navajo rugs in this photo cost more than my house……………At this restaurant I was introduced to Navajo Fry Bread. Indian fry bread is tradition to the Navajo, and comes with a story of great pain and suffering. READ MORE

The Gift Shop is huge::

Need a gag gift for your neighbor???

If your room has an interior view it would be of the gardens…

I’ll finish this post with one more photo of the river/bridge..

Thanks for stopping by. In doing this post I found several great links. If you are interested check them out.. Next time east entrance to the Grand Canyon and the South Rim.
