Love your shots! I was in that exact place walking the same trail several years ago. The friend who took us there showed us the flat rock area with the small pools you photographed. He showed me how to a get gorgeous picture of the mountain, he might have called it Cathedral Rock, by getting down real low behind a small pool and shooting the reflection.

Nice Mike. It's always good to see standing water in the desert.

Thanks, Jack, we saw quite a bit of that on this trip.

Thanks, we had so much moving water that the reflection shot (at my stage of flexibility) was not possible.

The first full day in Sedona we used Gypsy Tours (an app that you can download and play on your cell phone). It recommended Oak Creek Park. We took Lower Red Rock Loop and I could not resist taking a shot of the unusual house overlooking the area. The delightful park was just right for hanging out, dog walking and different photos of Cathedral Rock.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Intersting and brings memories of living near there nearly every summer.

Yep, there is a reason they call Sedona the red lands. Your set of photos speak strongly of that. thanks Mike for sharing these thought/momory provoking photos.

Sedona area also has invisible vortex supernatural areas that attract 21 century meditating hippies. Beautiful area, fun meditation area, many small shops. A must see area if one gets to Phoenix, not a bad drive to Sedona.

I worked in Phoenix for a year consulting, the area if from a different planet if one is from the east coast.

I did a fast look up... and YIKES, the area is hard rock and so when it rains the water rolls off and does not soak in. Phoenix has a N-S dip in the road system, that is a big ditch for run off. Rain is rare 6"/y but if it is heavy enough to get to the ground before evaporating on the way down floods occur... Sedona just had one.
