Sedona (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Sedona was named for the wife of early settler, T. C. Schnebly. Sedona is the site of one of John McCain‘s homes and it is the site where John met Sarah Palin for the second or possibly third time in their lives. It is where she practiced for her one debate with Joe Biden in 2008. I was vacationing there when she was there, but I saw neither Sarah nor John.
Sedona lies south and west of Flagstaff at a lower altitude so that the climate is milder. The summer months are hot and my personal favorite time to visit is mid-to-late April when the weather is perfect. The red rock country is beautiful. I think that it resembles my home in Saint George, Utah or Zion National Park.
There are lots of activities for the athletic in Sedona if you enjoy hiking in the great and beautiful out-of-doors. For those of us who are more sedentary, shopping and dining at the many quality shops and restaurants are fulfilling activities when away from the resorts’ pools. I particularly enjoy browsing the many shops at the Tlaquepaque mall just south of the traffic “Y.” Steps away across the road is Garland’s Trading Post which has many quality Native American crafts. They also possess the world’s best collection of Navajo rugs for sale. I have largely furnished my game room from Garland’s and I have my eye on several other items I want to add to my collection.
