City/town information
We all love Sedona! The deep blue sky, amazing red rocks, and green of the pine and mesquites make any hiking trail a good one. You'll need a Red Rock Pass to hit the trails. Stay in town to enjoy the many art galleries and restaurants and still get to see wonderful views. Only 1 1/2 hours from our house.

Jerome is a tiny mountain town clinging to the lip of its mountain. Crumbling remains of the old jail remain as does the red light district and other historic points. Artists and their galleries, restaurants and tiny shops, fabulous views, all make Jerome worth a visit. Make a detour for an afternoon after visiting Prescott or Sedona.
