Arizona Attractions & Escapism (September 2014 and May 2017)

There are multiple tourist attractions in Arizona beyond the Grand Canyon, including Sedona’s Red Rock Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, and Glen Canyon Dam. See how the Colorado River carved its way through the rocks by viewing the photo galleries below.

Sedona & Red Rock Canyon, Arizona

As I took a stroll around the town of Sedona in Arizona, I noticed that nearly everything there served designed to help one relax. Sedona felt like a spiritual retreat or wellness center. It’s said that certain spots in Sedona have heightened spiritual vortexes that can enhance self-awareness. Native Americans have long drawn on these energies in their spiritual practices.

In addition to the serene Red Rock backdrop, there were fountains with trickling water, flower patches, and streams. I came upon a number of metaphysical stores selling healing gemstones, psychic readings, and tarot sessions. There were art galleries and an open studio exhibiting artworks in various mediums. I even had the chance to step into a pottery studio and meet artists working on their projects. The pace of this town was slow and laid back—almost to the point of lethargy. Sedona was a prime location for luxury homes, and during a day tour, the guide pointed out several of these mansions to me.
