It’s getting a little commercialized in spots (like Sedona), however the landscape didn’t disappoint. It’s even more wild driving through Eastern Utah… feels like I am in Western Film in some of these smaller towns.
The third photo was off the left side of Cathedral Rock in Sedona, right before the big incline to get to the top. My wife slightly strained her ankle when we were climbing… so we stopped just short. And you nailed it on the Grand Canyon pics, those were from the Bright Angel Trail. We made it about 2 miles down and then turned around, we probably could have made it further but we were huffing and puffing as we climbed back up the South Rim.
