It's very difficult not to become a "distracted driver" as you approach the Sedona area! Luckily, they've planned well, providing many pullout spots for photo opportunities and hiking.

This highway will show you things that you simply cannot imagine...from the close up view of the Red Rocks to the different Churchs that borders it's edge...you will not be disappointed...and remeber to stop by T-Laquepaque

This was a beautiful drive. We stopped along the way and bought Indian jewelry. It had a lot of turns so people in the back seat did get a little queasy.

Did this trip mostly in evening coming from Jerome. Views good but as it became dark could not fully appreciate it. Take earlier and enjoy. By way Jerome worth visit
