Sedona is located 120 miles from Phoenix. It is residency of 11,000 people on about 50 square kilometers. 51% is privately owned and the rest belongs to the Coconino National Forest!http://www.fs.fed .us/r3/coconino /
The average altitude is about 1330 meters. The highest point is Coffee Pot Rock, located about 1,700 meters above sea level . Average age of population is 50 and it is mostly high income households.There are number of famous residents who currently live or have lived here in the past and among them is a former president candidate John McCain http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/John_McCain It is easy for him – he has a good retirement !
About 3 mliona tourists visit Sedona each year. Among them was myself – twice!
Sedona also known as Red Rock Country.
Here’s why.
Myself on the red rocks
As I said , I visited Sedona twice. In my first visit, I went by car . Second time – by plain .
One thing that you must do in Sedona is a Jeep Tour . We had our own car so we visited a destination called Broken Arrow that made Sedona famous . It is named by famous 1950 western movie with James Stewart http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042286/
Stewart was crusing there on his horse and we drove our Toyota Tacuma
Our car
They do not know what happened to them ….

no turning back
Truly a wonderful experience for me . My travel buddy Adža is a great driver !
Learning how to drive in Serbia , one gets a great experience of “cross country” – so cruising on the rocky Sedona roads was a peace of cake !
What else one has to see in Sedona?
One of the most popular attractions is the Chapel of the Holy Cross http://www.chapeloftheholycross.com
I’m not an expert on architecture or a religion but I must give credit to the person who designed it. At the entrance it is written that they welcome people of any race and religion and I like that !
Here are some photos of the church.
Sedona is famous for art galleries . Here is some of the work displayed outside
Thanks to my buddy Mich , the second time I visited Sedona was plane.
Did I enjoy ? Hmmmm – what do you think ?
I loved it !

What else to see and to do?
Let’s say there are many healers, psychotherapists and energy healers. There are even tours named : Sedona Vortex tour, Authentic Psyhic Spiritual Healer, Wisdom, etc. Psyhic Sedona.
I did not visit any ….we have enough of them in Serbia.
I am just not in to that at this point of my life, next time maybe…
And surely I will return because:
“God created the Grand Canyon but he lives in Sedona”
Just to check if he is still there ….
