We went off-road yesterday, (labor day holiday in the US), and took the Vultee Arch Trail out into red-rock country, North of Sedona AZ.
It's called a trail - but really it's just a boulder field that resets your spine a thousand times as you bounce over it!![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
At the end of the 4x4 accessible trail is the trailhead for a hike - dominated by this huge Limestone bluff.
Further towards Sedona, the landscape has more of the Red Rock in it, and the trail is red as well - now I know what the Mars Rover feels like!
Here's a panoramic that gives you a better feel for the landscape
You can see some tall blooms from Agave Plants to the left of the image
