We took a quick trip to Sedona to get away from the nasty inversion, cold temperatures and piled up snow in Utah.  The weather in Sedona was better than ours, but we still experienced rain and snow.  Even so, Sedona didn’t let us down.  The Red Rocks with a powdered sugar like snow on them looked gorgeous . However, with so little sunshine it was difficult to make great photos.

We had hoped to spend our first night at the ARIZONA BILTMORE WALDORF ASTORIA RESORT in Luxury.  We liked it so much previously, we were looking for another pleasant stay. Unfortunately, they were sold out because of the Barret-Jackson auto auction.  We met a guy who was in town to bid and buy a Lamborghini, in other words a high roller and he had to stay at a Residence Inn.  There will be other chances for us to stay at the great Frank Lloyd Wright inspired hotel.

Instead, we drove north to Sedona for 3 days. It was beautiful.

Our special treat was lunch at the Enchantment Resort in the TII Gavo Southwestern restaurant. The atmosphere is casual southwestern with floor to ceiling windows looking out to the red rocks up close and personal (see photo below).  The food presentation was beautiful and appealing.  We enjoyed the Clam Chowder and Grilled Salmon with tasty local flavorings.

 

Because of the weather we did our site seeing by car exploring.  Schnebly Road gave us beautiful views and muddy, rocky, bumpy road.

 

Next time when we have more time and better weather conditions we’ll explore the Petroglyphs and the many Vortexes and more restaurants.

Driving back to Phoenix to take our Delta flight home.  on the way we were fortunate to see a Double Rainbow, even the end where the pot of gold is.

Thanks for ready our blog, come back again, John
