As a native Arizonan, I can attest the sheer beauty and majesty of the Red Rocks of Sedona. Of course; anyone who lives here probably has a story to tell about a time when they went to Sedona. My story goes back to when I was just a young boy. My Grandparents lived in Sedona, the real Sedona. The one before it became a tourist”s destination. The Sedona that just the quirky artists and ranchers knew. My Grandfather was the only butcher in the only market in the whole town of Sedona. I can remember taking walks with him up and down Schnebly Hill, fishing in Oak Creek and just loving the area. Now that I am older and more established, I find it is difficult to get back to Sedona as often as I would like. I encourage any of my readers that if you find yourself in Arizona, please make your way to Sedona. You won’t be disappointed.
Safe Travels.

Sedona placed No. 8 on the…
