A stop on our road trip was Red Rock State Park. We are there now and my grandparents live here in Sedona. We will be climbing The Mace ( a big rock pillar) in the next few days so as a warmup to the red rock here we climbed Bell Rock to the actual summit. It is an awesome place here with gorgeous pictures all around. Enjoy!


Bell Rock is on the right and we climbed the tallest pillar on the rock.

And for the last shot. We stayed on the summit until the sun went down and hiked down in the last light of the day. It was a great day indeed.

    nice shots of what sounded like a great day. From the summit shot, it looked like a really clear day.

    I used to live in the Phoenix area and really love the deserts of the SW - thanks for sharingthumb.gif

    Great shots... I've really been enjoying your trip. The summit shot is spectacular, but I really like the pink dragon cloud in the last one. thumb.gif The guy nestled in the red rocks is very nice, too...
