I’m not really sure where to post this, I’ve seen photos here and under General Art.

Anyway, I took off for a few days to the northern part of the state, looking for what passes for fall color in Arizona 😉

Hannagan Meadow, often the coldest part of the state

White Mountains of AZ.

Some pictographs at Petrified Forest Natl Park.

Crystal Forest, petrified logs.

Since I know there are some bird lovers here, this fellow was looking me over as I had a snack

Cathedral Rock, near Sedona

a trail to view the Red Rocks

looking up, nice bold color

Near where the “iconic” photo for the Red Rocks of Sedona is always taken, but I didn’t want to get soaking wet to get there…

More trail

and I think my favorite from the trip

What beautiful scenery! It reminds me of the trail into Kolob Canyon in southern Utah. Where is Sedona?

thanks for the comments, everyone.

Sedona is in Northern Arizona, southwest of Flagstaff a ways. It’s a very scenic area, so draws in lot of tourists and artists. Because of this, the area has really been growing with lots of art galleries, hotels, resorts, touristy shops, etc.

In case anyone is wondering why I didn’t get better photos of the pictographs, they were around 100 feet away, so that photo was zoomed and then cropped to show just the images. This is what it looks like in a “normal” photograph – not the same rock, but about the same distance away. You used to be able to walk closer to the rocks, but part of the cliff collapsed so they closed the trail. Probably less vandalism that way,too.
