Arizona Overview


I have been to Arizona, Grand Canyon, Sedona, Lake Powell in past. Few places several times  In fact   almost took a job at Iridium projet (Motorola,, 1995) and  made a trip for the house hunting. 
This  was a semi-planned and somewhat impromptu trip due to lack of tome and over-confidence.  

However,this trip turned out to be loaded with  extra fun and enchantments in  many ways. Driving for nine days in open convertible, making stops, taking hikes gave much better sense of this state’s diverse landscapes. Marveled at the massive Seguaro cacti in the desert low land with yellow branches,  red rocks, colorful foliage, absolutely  awe-inspiring, sunrises and sunsets  with not even one cloud,  viewing of wildlife of  the bison, antelopes, California Candor, extra beautiful, picturesque artist community, learning more about the indigenous communities . Spend more time lounging at the beautiful resorts and finer meals.

The six-days sight-seeing part of the trip was an add-on to 3 day wedding of niece at the Royal Palm resort and spa at Phoenix with extra opportunity to see the grandniece expecting her first baby.

It has Panaromic views from the Navajo bridge, Vermillion cliffs,  Known for its colorful swirls of slickrock, Vermilion Cliffs National Monument is a sherbet-colored dream world filled with fantastical rock formations like The Wave ( needs  advanced permit and SUV). Also see  foliage and  wild life 
12North Rim Cape Royal  Noirth Rim is  significantly less crowded compare to the south Rim. A worthwhile trip for those who enjoy the road less traveled.Cape Royal is the southernmost viewpoint on the North Rim, and it has the widest panorama of any Grand Canyon overlook - the great gorge occupies about 270° of the horizon,
 Most memorable is of Angels Window, a natural arch in the Kaibab limestone.
