The
Two RV Gypsies: Full-Time RVers
enjoyed Oak Creek Canyon
and Sedona in Arizona
September 5, 2012 |

The two RV Gypsies drove from Flagstaff to Sedona on SR 89A
- Oak Creek Canyon:
One of Arizona's Most Scenic Drives |
Oak Creek Canyon is
in northern Arizona between the cities of Flagstaff and Sedona. State
Route 89A enters the canyon on its north end via a series of hairpin
turns before traversing the bottom of the canyon for about 13 miles
until the highway enters the town of Sedona. Visiting Oak Creek Canyon
means that the journey along Oak Creek Canyon Road is half the fun!
Notably, one of Rand McNally's Top Five Scenic Drives in America,
the road beckons with its immense beauty and incredible landscapes,
however the road is full of hairpin turns and switchbacks that require
the driver's full attention. |

Below: Near Oak Creek Canyon Vista at
the canyon top, there were various Native American vendors who sell
various Indian crafts and artisan created jewelry. The following photos
were taken from that area. |

Sedona
is a city that straddles the county line between Coconino
and Yavapai Counties in the northern Verde Valley region of the U.S.
state of Arizona.
Sedona was named after Sedona Arabelle Miller Schnebly
(1877-1950), the wife of Theodore Carlton Schnebly, the city's first
postmaster, who was celebrated for her hospitality and industriousness. |
Below are several
mountains (sometimes just called rocks) in Sedona. The two RV Gypsies
did not find out the names of any of these. If you know their names,
please e-mail the two RV Gypsies. Thank you. |

Back to September 2012 - Below are two
things along US-89 in Gray Mountain, Arizona that Karen Duquette thought
worth photographing. Karen took the photos through a closed window
while in a moving RV. |
