Sedona: Schnebly Road

Once upon a time, many years ago, people wanting to go from Flagstaff to Sedona would take Schnebly Road, which continues much like it has always been: dirt.

After eating lunch in Flagstaff on Friday, we drove down I-17 until we came to Schnebly Road, then took the 12 mile road back to Sedona. The first 6 miles looked a lot like the picture above.

We found this cool shelter someone had made out of lots of branches and pine needles.

The last 6 miles had some pretty cool scenery, but was REALLY rocky. I guess Wilma (our 4-runner) finally got a little excitement after all these years, being able to go off roading as she and Jacob have been wanting to for so long. But I don't plan on doing it again any time soon. At least we got some pretty pictures.

This is what a lot of our drive consisted in:

There were a ton of jeep tours and even some helicoptor tours going on in the area. Apparently a lot of people like the pretty red rocks.
