Before a new freeway was built between Sedona and Flagstaff, the only road was through a narrow, winding canyon, called Oak Creek...Locals and tourist alike used this road, navigating the hair pin turns, or "kiss your ass corners" my Dad would have called them...The road now has a few private homes built right into the rock walls above the river, or on small grassy spots along the river...Overnight cabins, camp grounds and day use areas line the river and tourists flock here in the summer for recreation...It was busy yesterday, a warm spring day...Herb and I braved the traffic and crowds, found a day use area, spread out our lunch of corned beef, swiss cheese, onion and tomatoes sandwiches, on fresh sourdough bread...I would hate to be here in the summer when the tourist season is in full swing, must be wall to wall people and vehicles!
We returned to the quiet of our condo for the afternoon...We took a turn around the resort, checking out the pool and other amenities and think today will be a good day for sun and leisure poolside...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
Looking down at Oak Creek, the lighting
makes it look like winter.
Ready for Lunch
Rock Walls
More rock with trees leafing out.
