Mushroom Rock

This is one of the first photos I took that day. Early in the morning we were driving from Flagstaff to Sedona and saw this park. There is a tiny parking space along the road with access to a hiking trail along the road. There are some spots where you can see the park from the high side, you might have to do a little climbing to get off the trail to get to actual views like this one. The cool part is that it is free, the bad part is that you can’t get down there to the river from here. To get down to the river level you have to get into the park and it costs a few bucks. We did it later in the afternoon on our way back to Flagstaff, you already have seen one of the photos I took at the river level.

Grand Canyon Sunrise

So I finally got into the Grand Canyon folder on my hard drive and sorted them out into stacks of the bracketed photos. I took so many of them during our short one day visit to the Grand Canyon, hopefully will be able to process more of them in the coming weeks and months.

During a single day we saw some sun, some blue sky, a lot of moving clouds and some serious snow storm. All types of weather in short 7-8 hours of daylight. Do you see the Colorado River?

As always, you can click on the image and see higher resolution image in my photo gallery. Enjoy.

Slide Rock State Park

We were there in the middle of the winter and as you can see it was a bit cold. What I’m wondering if the name of the park stays true to its name in the summer time. Does anyone know if you can get in the water and slide on any of the rocks? There are a lot of places down there that seems like would allow this, do they actually allow to get in the water to do it, not sure. You can see one of the photos from the river level here.

Bridge to Sedona

Dmitrii9 Comments

Continuing with the bridges theme we are moving a bit into land, into sunny Arizona. If you take route 89 from Flagstaff to Sedona you will drive over it, just about one mile before you get to Sedona. There is a small parking lot at the top of the bridge and there is a short hike under it to enjoy the beautiful views. Sedona is actually almost visible here, it is right there where canyon merges and connects with sky and disappearing clouds.

RoadKill Cafe

I like to have my wife on my vacations… not only for many other obvious reasons, but she likes to do some research about our destinations and always suggests places we should stop and see. Like in this case I’d probably never stop at the Roadkill Café if it was not for her. She knew about this place and as we took historic HW66 drive we found this place to have lunch. Their bison burger sucked big time, not something I would order again if I ever had a chance to eat there, but the decorations of this place compensated for not so tasty burger. Check it for your self, what was in front of us during our lunch.

Oh, and as for the folks there, it is not us. I think they were Europeans, travel bloggers or something like that, as they spent entire time looking at their photos and doing something with them. I guessed that she was Czech, and guy looked like our friend Patrick who is Lebanese, but this one probably not. But who really cares.
