| Sedona,
AZ |
If
you could look at the state of Arizona from above, you would
see the red, salmon, and cream-colored rocks of Sedona lace
the edges of the 3000 foot high Mogollon rim. A serendipitous
set of natural phenomena has created a striking landscape of
spires, buttes and canyons. Here, at the edge of the Mogollon
Rim, the wide expanses of the Colorado Plateau in Northeastern
Arizona tumble down through a jumble of mountains and canyons,
and smooth out into broad basins and northwest trending mountain
chains in Southern and Western Arizona.
"Red Rock Country" may look familiar to you, even
if you've never been here before. It is one of the most photographed
spots in Arizona, and these formations were featured in classic
western movies like "Angel and the Badman" with John
Wayne, "Broken Arrow" with Jimmy Stewart and "Call
of the Canyon", adapted from the novel written by Zane
Grey.
