Sedona by Pink Jeep

My husband and I took an overnight trip to my favorite place a couple of weeks ago, Sedona.  We have been there many times, it is not too far of a drive from Phoenix.  But this time for the first time we took a Pink Jeep tour back into the scenery.

Usually we see this from the bottom.

I learned that the rocks are red because there is iron in the soil.  And at a time when this area was covered with ocean it rusted.

I also learned that Walt Disney used to have a home here, and that this is Thunder Mountain.  The mountain he designed the ride from.

Here we are looking a bit dusty and disheveled.

He is David and the jeep.  We had the back seat.  It really was a great way to see Sedona.

  8. Sedona is my all time favorite place in AZ, too! My hubby and I try to get up there as often as possible. I have yet to take a pink jeep tour, but have always thought about it. I just don't like leaving the driving to someone else, as I only trust my own driving! Your tidbit about the ride at Disney is one I knew about, too, and it happens to be my all time favorite ride at DisneyLand. It looks like you had a grand time, and that's the whole point....right? Thanks for sharing it with us.

    Hugs,
    Meri

  9. Thanks for sharing your pics of Sedona. Have visited just once with some special friends who live in LA. A most fascinating place would love to visit again with a little more time to look around.
