I've been working steadily at trying to put together some basics for a trip to Sedona.
If you've never been to Sedona, it is both magical and beautiful. The classic red rocks of Sedona were used for many years in filming countless western movies, and Indian history abounds with Cliffside dwellings and petrogyphs. Great dining and shopping opportunities abound, with many great art galleries that call Sedona home, including one of my favorites, Exposures Gallery, which features an amazing collection of big scale works. Other attractions include the town of Jerome, a ghost town from the mining days at the turn of the last century, and the Grand Canyon is only 2 hours away.
Most of the jeep runs in Sedona seem to be easy to intermediate in difficulty and over the top in scenic beauty. I had the opportunity to meet Nena Barlow at the Big Bear Jeep Jamboree this month. She is not only the owner of Barlow Jeep Rentals in Sedona, but is also an avid offroader. She has offered to help us with planning some runs while were there.
I've been looking for lodging to use as a base of operations, and I believe I've found the perfect location. The Briar Patch Inn is on Oak Creek, and is a collection of 19 cabins. They provide breakfast every morning either in the common area or in the cabin/house. I have already reserved a 4 bedroom house (it's full already), and we're holding 5 other cabins for people to reserve. Check out their website at www.briarpatchinn.com/ and contact them directly for reservations.
The date we have planned for the trip would leave Redlands Jeep on Thursday Sept 22 and drive back on Monday the 26th. This should be a great trip, let me know if you are interested in going. Please also contact me if you have comments or questions at 909-793-2141 or email me at lcampbell@redlandsautoplaza.com
