Sedona, AZ - 360 Degree View by David Pivin

The most spectacular vista in Sedona is on a small butte alongside Airport Road off AZ89A. From there you can see south to Bell Rock and north to the "Coffee Pot" and much of the west and south side residential and commercial areas. Oak Creek passes close to the road on the east facing portion of the pano. A "monsoon" thunderstorm is forming about 15 miles to the south and its top would eventually overhang Sedona and obscure the sun.

Getting to this flat rock perch requires a scramble over some steep rocky ground, but the reward is this unmatched view and great backdrops for those "been there, done that" photos.
