Sedona

Headed to Sedona from Flagstaff through Oak Creek Canyon on windy roads and forests (first seen all trip). These mountains had names like 'coffee pot' and glowed orange/red in the early evening sky as we drove back through from Jerome.

Cinematic legacy - Sedona played host to more than sixty Hollywood productions from the first years of movies into the 1970s. The small town, which served as a kind of microcosm of Hollywood history, sits about 120 miles north of Phoenix, nestled between thousand-foot-high walls of stone in lushly forested Oak Creek Canyon and the wide open space of the Verde Valley, and it was the diversity of this unspoiled landscape that made it such an ideal location to shoot outdoor scenes. Stretching as far back as 1923, Sedona's signature red rocks were a fixture in major Hollywood productions-including enduring favorites such as Johnny Guitar, Angel and the Badman, Desert Fury, Blood on the Moon, and 3:10 to Yuma-but typically were identified to audiences as the terrain of Texas, California, Nevada, and even Canadian border territory. For fifty years, this picturesque desert outpost quietly played host to Hollywood legends in the making, yet the town is rarely found in standard histories of the movies.

Drove onto Jerome which is an artist community high up overlooking the planes. Lots of quirky shops and great art. Bought an old corn bread mould and a cowgirl hat.
