Sedona

"And Sedona!" chirped up the woman who ran the cafe on the way off the mountains on Friday. So that's the route I took to the Grand Canyon.
Its a truly beautiful place. No expense has been spared to make sure the town doesn't spoil the landscape. Every building in low, nestles into the contours of the land and the surrounding trees. And every one is painted in one of 3 colours that exactly match the surrounding countryside; sage green, or the grey or red of the mountains. No massive signs ruing the skyline line every other town I've visited.
