I was there this past summer. You might want to do a circle drive. Take 89 out of Flagstaff from 40 to Cameron then route 64 that will take you to the park and along the rim into the National Park. There are great views off of the road at all of the overlooks. To get a different perspective you could hike one of the trails, but the views from the overlook are great as well. Definitely make the a stop at the first or last overlook by the eastern entrance to the park. There is a tower there, although probably closed this time of year.

When you finish in the park you can continue on 64 South back to 40, possibly via 180. I'm not sure where Sedona is. I think you said that you are going in winter, so check the weather conditions, especially on the eastern side of the park between the park and Camron. Have a good trip.

The east most Pullout/lookout is called Desert View and the river is coming toward you and makes a bend west.with many view points
along the highway to the the main area. It does have the tower, it is probably closed. The advice for the circle drive is a great trip and puts the sun over your shoulder or back most of the day. Some pullouts have large parking lots and potties, others are for only one two cars and you look straight into the canyon. Their is a 4x4 road from Desert View down to the confluence of the Colorado and the Little Colorado rivers. Highway 64 has places you can look down into the Little Colorado, some are spectacular views.
I lived in the Flagstaff area for 25 years and went to the Canyon many times. PM me if you want more.

3 minutes in microwave, as picked. Then cut off big end at largest diameter (you will lose a couple of rows). Then squeeze the corn out of the husk by pinching the top of the ear. Comes out clean with no strings!


That is how we do it too>

Very much enjoyed your pictures. Wife and I took our Suburban on that road all the way to highway 12. It got kind of nasty in a couple of places. Wife got out and walked twice it was so bad.

Jerry, My first thought is you should carry a set of jumper cables in the car. Many will give you a jump if you have the cables. I had an electric jump device that had to be charged ever month or so and hated it. Forget to charge it and it is useless. I now have one that you keep plugged in and it has a light to show that it is fully charged. These devices are only good if you take them with you and you did not know you would leave the lights on so having it at home would be of no good. Get the jumper cables first then look for the jump start device.

Open hood dangle jumper cables from it and someone will help, at least out west they will.

Hmm. Counting up the windows would take some thinkin'. There's a bunch of 'em at the Visitor Center, but having never counted them, I don't know how many there are. The Rock House has eight or so; the Library has maybe ten; there's probably a total of twelve at the Apartments (the apartment I lived in had three, that much I'm sure of); eight or ten at Diane's house (I still call it Diane's house because that's where Arches' Chief of Interpretation, Diane, lived until she retired fifteen or so years ago, and it doesn't look like anybody who's lived there since has added or removed any windows in the meantime); and moving up the road there's still two more residence buildings, the Maintenance building, and the SAR Cache to consider. And up in the park, there's a couple more buildings that have windows, but not a whole lot of them. Heck, even the Stone Cabin has two windows, but there's no glass in either of them anymore, so those might not count.

Sort of like how North and South Window arches might not count as windows; neither of them have any glass in them, either.

Should I have specified windows in rock formations? Great answer, made me laugh.

When I lived there mid 70's they had a saying "If you wear out a pair of shoes here you will want to come back." I agree. I lived in Miller Canyon and Sierra Vista.

I like the window. If there are 2000 arches in the park, I wonder how many windows there are?

In reference to the more modern art in images 3 and 4; my grandma said "Fools names and fools faces often appear in public places". I also Googled 42GR290 and spent some time looking at it. Where do you find these publications? Your photos and comments are the main reason I look at this site every day. Please keep posting.

The sky and saturation are just super. The rust can remains are typical of old cabin sites. The dump was often how far you could toss stuff.

I know how hard it is to find things in nature. The first time I looked for Devil's Bridge jn the Sedona area I was standing on it before I saw it. These are great photos. Keep posting, I look to see if you have posted anything, then look to see if anything else looks interesting.
