The best place to see the changing leaves in Sedona is
Oak Creek Canyon. Driving up this scenic highway one becomes enveloped
in fall color. A canopy of leaves above, the highway lined with ruby
bushes and Oak Creek itself rushing alongside. How about an aerial view
of the leaves? Take a helicopter or Hot Air Balloon ride and get an
extraordinary view of fall color against Red Rocks. A horseback ride
will get one up close and personal with both the Red Rocks and the
changing leaves. To see Page Springs, why not take a Jeep tour. Jeep
tours go through the Red Rocks, into Page Springs and to a vineyard.
Once there, relax tasting wines and enjoying the view knowing the Jeep
is there to make the return trip to Sedona.
With all the activity and wine tasting, one is bound
to get hungry. Fournos restaurant in West Sedona has become destination
dining in Sedona. Chef Ivan Flowers prepares out of this world
Mediterranean-Italian cuisine in an intimate atmosphere. Start with the
award winning lobster bisque, and then try the garlic basil crusted rack
of lamb. Pair these delicious dishes with a selection from the boutique
