Wow! So far Arizona has been unbelievably cool. I didn't get any really good desert pictures from the Southwest part of the state but the Saguros (like the Taco Time guy) and whatever the ones above are, alongside the highway were so cool! I'm going down to Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument after I get back from my christmas break to spend more time with the Cacti.
Where I did spend time was in the Prescott-Jerome-Sedona corridor of Central Arizona. This area is my new number one favorite spot, displacing the San Luis Obispo-Santa Barbara area to number two. This area is high up in the mountains and surrounded by National Forests (like the Ponderosa Pine forest above) and the Red Rock State Park (below). The scenery was fantastic and all three of those towns were fun to stop in. Prescott has a western feel, Jerome is an old mining town and is literally perched on a mountain slope, and Sedona is surrounded by some of THE MOST AMAZING rock formations ever!
Jerome, AZSedona, AZ I got into Sedona right at sunset so didn't have a chance to take very many pictures. It is clearly a very high rent zone, all the buildings are following a 'blend in with the scenery' building code; they even made McDonalds make its 'M' green instead of yellow!
