I have recently returned from Sedona in Arizona. It really was a magical place to be, although most of the retail space was given over to healing and holistic premises and this was the theme in Sedona. I didn't try any of the treatments on offer but I think if I were to go back to the area, I would do.
This was one of the areas on the road trip from San Francisco to Phoenix that I found the one plant I wanted to see and that was the cactus. I saw many in this area although not the variety I wanted to see. The one elusive plant I wanted to see was the cactus that features in the Wild West, the desperate Dan type of cactus. I only saw this on the way to Phoenix Airport.
The flowers these plants display are quite amazing, the colours are so vivid, especially against the harsh backdrop of the desert. These colours though pale into insignificance once the sun hits the red rock of the formations around Sedona. The red soil is amazing and has to be seen.
The soil is also red in the town and area and although it must be a difficult substance to grow plants etc, the roses in the town looked amazing. That really surprised me as Sedona is classified as high desert and the last thing I expected to see was roses!
Finally, the sunsets in Sedona were superb, the vivid colours blew me away.
