The land of Arizona is truly special. There's a striking, unconventional beauty about it, especially when shades of desert green dance across the red surface, and jewel-toned water runs through it, reminding the enormous walls what carved their existence. Much more elegant than the obnoxious red clay in North Carolina that stains everything (if ya know ya know). Horseshoe Bend and Sedona were two pretty quick stops on our road trip, but they were incredibly memorable.
Horseshoe Bend is located in Page, Arizona, and was something we quickly stopped at on our drive from Zion to Sedona. We had planned to go to Antelope Canyon which is also in Page, but got rained out, lucky for us though because the rain itself delayed our trip so we would have missed our booking anyway. Lake Powell is also there, so you really could make a full day out of it if you wanted. The Colorado River is what cuts through Horseshoe Bend, and we saw some people kayaking there, which looked really cool.
Sedona was so fun and cute. It's pretty quaint and swanky having some high end spa resorts. They had some really amazing hikes, and so many of them! We definitely only scratched the surface. It's definitely a place I could go back to for a long weekend for some hikes, four wheeling, shopping and spa time. Overall when I think back to being in Sedona, I just remember feeling really happy and healthy there. Zam and I felt like we "got in shape" after all the Zion hikes and we were just flying through the hikes all day in Sedona.
