Spring break this week was in my backyard, ARIZONA style! No need for a passport...as I toured Northern Arizona.
Our first stop is Great Falls also known as "Chocolate Milk Falls" located 30 miles NE of Flagstaff. It's aka "Chocolate Milk Falls" was coined because of its muddy flow. These falls are considered the Niagara Falls of Arizona. These falls are taller than Niagara Falls. Unfortunately, snow fall less than optimal this past year which affected water levels.
Next stop Walnut Canyon with its remarkable rock formation and cliff dwellings. It's located 10 miles SE of downtown Flagstaff. If you've never seen windows in mountains...this is the place to add to your bucket list. I had the pleasure of hiking this trail.I counted 420 steps to get back to the top!
Next stop is Wupatki National Monument located near Sunset Crater. Wupatki has one of many pueblos which housed ancient people. There are over 800 ruins scattered within the Monument. The ruins have a vibrant red color which unfortunately no photo could do it justice.
Last stop one of the 7 wonders of the world...The Grand Canyon. As I attempt to process the beauty before me the following words come to mind...Majestic, Fierce, Humbling, Peaceful, and EXTRAORDINARY!
I have such an appreciation for the beauty in Arizona. Amazing weather..beautiful sunsets...and celebration of all 4 seasons.
Wishing you a Saturday filled with amazing sights filled with wonder and beauty!
