Trippy

If Park City and Moab had a baby, it would be Sedona. This child would have its mother’s love of overpriced meals, obscene residences, and extravagance behind shop windows; it would also have its father’s passion for scrambling red rocks toward a blue sky, the variety of dogs to scratch, and wells of New Age energy.

- Now, to leave this strained conceit –

Some of the best parts of my long weekend in Arizona included (see non-clicky links below, sorry): visiting the Chapel of the Holy Cross, seeing my first moon dog (example pictured above), hiking in red dirt in search of energy vortexes, playing board games with my travelling companions, and watching ravens, who are as common there as crows are in Utah. Yes, the Grand Canyon was cool, too (“It just keeps going!!”), but I was somehow more impressed with the mountainous shortcut between Sedona and Flagstaff and also the humble village of Jacob Lake.
