Flagstaff to Sedona AZ

 

You start out up in the lush rugged forests of Flagstaff and work your way down (in direction (south) and in elevation) to the canyon and rock formation

The higher regions of the canyon display forests full of Aspens, Oaks and Maples.

You need to keep an eye out for rocks falling on the road.

You want to look up at the beautiful formations but keep your eyes on the road. 

The closer you get to Sedona the more red rocks appear. 

Talk about scenery sensory overload.

This is an aerial shot that I found on-line of the switchbacks along the route. Speed of turns range from 15-20 MPH.

This road can have some awesome switch backs and steep ascents/descents.

A great 35-mile ride.  We stopped at a local Mickey D's for a cinnamon roll and milk.
