I drove down US Hwy 89A (South of Flagstaff) to the very nice Oak Creek Canyon overlook. The views from the Mogollon Rim are scenic. That overlook is the easy place to purchase the $5 dollar "Red Rock Pass" required to stop in the Sedona red rock area. Unfortunately the overlook was closed. Rather then following the large slow camper trailers to Sedona to look for the Forest Service headquarters for a "Red Rock Pass", I circled around and took Interstate Hwy 17 to the Schnebly Hill Road exit.
After the exit I immediately turned South on Coconino National Forest road 153 through medium sized Ponderosa Pine on a rough road. I drove to a nice legal camp somewhere near Schnebly Hill.
The next morning I had my normal coffee break. I drove past the "no camping" sign just before I reached Schnebly Hill Vista, where I parked. I walked around to shoot the views then sat in the shade of a juniper tree and relaxed for a while with a great view. I could feel the soothing effects of the Sedona Vortex. The Sedona Vortex is a geo-physical force with spiritual energy from the Earth with healing properties
for the mind and body.
I could not drive down through Bear Wallow Canyon without a "Red Rock" pass. Bear Wallow Canyon is deep into the "red rocks" and a major energy portal of the Sedona Vortex. (The other portals are Bell Rock, Airport Mesa, Cathedral Rock, and Boynton Canyon.) There are some very rewarding walking trails in Bear Wallow Canyon.
Sadly I drove back to the interstate highway. I had a very long drive to my next camp.
