The Mad Red Motherf**ker World Tour.

jordanscollected

you have to stop to take pictures, but after awhile they all look the same. my photo feed is a big red mountain collage.

the other thing to note is on most trails, you have to look down to watch your step, if you look around to enjoy the view, you'll end up on your face, or worse, off the side of a cliff. we almost learned that the hard way

We found the food to be disappointing,which we attributed to the fact that there’s no college/university there. No hungry college kids in search of good,reasonably priced food.

agreed @Jett129 and the lack of college is a great point. The food scene was incredibly disappointing. either a menu was too boring, or too expensive to for what you got. We have no problem paying for high end meals, but don't try and charge me $40 for enchiladas.

We ate at the Local Juicery 3 times, and an extremely hippie restaurant called the ChocolaTree for lunch one day. Too much food designed for a typical snowbird like my parents.

Nice to see both @jordanscollected and @Matt in my neck of the woods. Sedona is a cool town for sure but if I'm there for the day I'll pack a lunch, hah. One notable thing about food in Sedona is that it has the world's only McDonald's with turquoise arches instead of yellow.

Wish we weren't in a pandemic so I could have said hello!

Matt

I love that turquoise arch! We saw it driving through town. I wish I’d gotten a picture.

Matt

We didn’t stop in Sedona proper on our way to Slide Rock State Park or Red Rock SP because it was crazy crowd we and not really worth the prices for us. The places we ate in nearby Cottonwood were pretty good. Curry at fojol bros and burgers at Bing’s Burger Station.

It’s funny though, every time we mention Sedona to someone the stock response is “I love Sedona!”

jordanscollected

@Palmer regarding the McDonalds, we drove by many times but didn't notice the arch's, what a miss!

@Matt That's all we have heard too about Sedona "We love it!". I'm used to larger cities with hidden gems and well knows chef's that branch out to create affordable food that's amazing. That was as easy to find as a lake in Sedona.

Allie and I slowly backed away when we ended up walking through the "Sedona T-shirts" section of town.

Matt

Yeah, I would think the authenticity of a spiritual vortex is diminished ever so slightly when it’s next to tshirt shops on either side. Jerome was really cool up on the mountain. Looked like some good food up there. Again though, so… many... people.
