27

Broken Arrow Trail

The trail name has nothing to do with some unearthed Sinagua artifact. It’s actually the title of a movie filmed in Sedona! See, long after the Sinagua vanished, Sedona became home to a handful of pioneer families. Among them: T.C. Schnebly, who saw a bright future for the community, even though it could barely even be called a community when he arrived. Schnebly built the area’s first hotel and general store, and created the first post office in 1902 to put it on the grid! The problem? This place didn’t even have a name yet!

28

Chapel of the Holy Cross

Back in 1931, the Empire State Building finished construction in New York. Uhhh so… what does that have to do with Sedona? Well, local rancher and sculptor Marguerite Staude saw that skyscraper and was so inspired she simply had to create something just as impressive in her home state of Arizona.

Sedona’s ranchers would lead their cattle along this route to graze, then bring them back at the end of a long day. What’s great about this place is that it’s virtually unchanged since those days, so a walk along the trail is like a glimpse into Sedona’s past!

153

Broken Arrow Trail

The trail name has nothing to do with some unearthed Sinagua artifact. It’s actually the title of a movie filmed in Sedona! See, long after the Sinagua vanished, Sedona became home to a handful of pioneer families. Among them: T.C. Schnebly, who saw a bright future for the community, even though it could barely even be called a community when he arrived. Schnebly built the area’s first hotel and general store, and created the first post office in 1902 to put it on the grid! The problem? This place didn’t even have a name yet!

154

Chapel of the Holy Cross

Back in 1931, the Empire State Building finished construction in New York. Uhhh so… what does that have to do with Sedona? Well, local rancher and sculptor Marguerite Staude saw that skyscraper and was so inspired she simply had to create something just as impressive in her home state of Arizona.

159

Munds Wagon Trail

So what makes Munds Wagon Trail so special? Well, back in T.C. Schnebly’s day, it was a cattle route for the local ranchers! Sedona’s ranchers would lead their cattle along this route to graze, then bring them back at the end of a long day. What’s great about this place is that it’s virtually unchanged since those days, so a walk along the trail is like a glimpse into Sedona’s past!

Horseshoe Bend

This iconic landmark is located at the end of a half-mile trail starting from the back of this parking lot.

161

Antelope Canyon

You might not think “bright colors” when you think of a canyon, but that’s just what you’ll get in Antelope Canyon. This wild, twisting slot canyon is Instagram-famous for a reason. The wind-carved sandstone walls look like something out of a dream, and the sunlight filtering down from above casts the whole thing in a fabulous red glow.

168

Navajo Mountain

If you don’t mind a $30 per vehicle entrance fee to access the Wahweap Recreation Area, Navajo Mountain Viewpoint serves up some seriously stunning views of the magnificent Navajo Mountain.

195

Sentier de la flèche brisée

Le nom du sentier n'a rien à voir avec un artefact de Sinagua découvert. C'est en fait le titre d'un film tourné à Sedona ! Vous voyez, longtemps après la disparition du Sinagua, Sedona est devenue le foyer d'une poignée de familles pionnières. Parmi eux : T.C. Schnebly, qui voyait un brillant avenir pour la communauté, même si elle pouvait à peine être qualifiée de communauté à son arrivée.

Cet endroit n'avait même pas encore de nom !

196

Chapelle de la Sainte Croix

En 1931, l'Empire State Building a terminé sa construction à New York. Euh alors… qu'est-ce que cela a à voir avec Sedona ?

201

Sentier des wagons de Munds

Alors, qu'est-ce qui rend le Munds Wagon Trail si spécial ? Eh bien, de retour à T.C. Le jour de Schnebly, c'était une route de bétail pour les éleveurs locaux ! Les éleveurs de Sedona conduisaient leur bétail le long de cette route pour paître, puis les ramenaient à la fin d'une longue journée. Ce qui est génial avec cet endroit, c'est qu'il est pratiquement inchangé depuis cette époque, donc une promenade le long du sentier est comme un aperçu du passé de Sedona !

Canyon de l'antilope

Vous ne pensez peut-être pas aux «couleurs vives» lorsque vous pensez à un canyon, mais c'est exactement ce que vous obtiendrez à Antelope Canyon. Ce canyon à sous sauvage et sinueux est célèbre sur Instagram pour une raison. Les murs de grès sculptés par le vent ressemblent à quelque chose d'un rêve, et la lumière du soleil qui filtre d'en haut projette le tout dans une fabuleuse lueur rouge.

210

Montagne Navajo

Si cela ne vous dérange pas un droit d'entrée de 30 $ par véhicule pour accéder à la zone de loisirs de Wahweap, Navajo Mountain Viewpoint offre des vues vraiment époustouflantes sur la magnifique montagne Navajo. Dominant le lac Powell à 10 348 pieds au-dessus du niveau de la mer, ce pic a certainement une présence impressionnante. C'est aussi extrêmement important pour le peuple Navajo.
