Sunday Road Trip North


What would be a trip to Sedona without driving through Oak Creek Canyon ?  We headed north on 89A, out of Sedona and towards Flagstaff, past Slide Rock Park and West Fork Hiking areas, thru the switchbacks as we continue to climb through the Coconino Forest until we reach the North Gateway Information Center at the Oak Creek Vista. The scenic overview provides an outstanding view of the Oak Creek Vistas.





Look close and you can see the triple switchbacks you must travel to traverse the mountain.
 

Driving further north toward Flagstaff we headed for the Arizona Snowbowl   ARIZONA SNOWBOWL .   Located on the majestic San Francisco Peaks, the Arizona Snowbowl lies 14 miles outside of Flagstaff.  It is a favorite location, short of Colorado, to catch the shimmering Aspen. 
This year however, we were a bit late in the season to see ALL the color and the dancing leaves… but Debbie did get some good pics.
