Sedona: Red Rock State Park

Saturday was our last day in Sedona, and as we made our way out we stopped at Red Rock State Park. I think there are probably 10 state parks/national monuments within an hour of Sedona. Anyway, we had a lovely 2 or 3 mile hike and enjoyed the beauty of more red rocks, some creeks, and some trees that actually change colors in the fall. It was very pretty.

We found a *comfy* rock bench to relax on while on our hike. The day before we had walked around Tlaquepaque, which is a shopping center with lots of art galleries, crafty, and unique stores. One gallery had a whole patio full of rock furniture-seats, arm rests, and chair backs all out of rocks. They were actually relatively comfortable (especially compared to this bench).

I think this is Cathedral rock.

This state park had started out as a homestead, and up on the ridge is a home built in the 1940s by whoever owned it.



We found this gnarly tree.



There were also a few river/creek crossings with bridges over them. It was a very pretty area, and again, I loved the fall leaves.
