Sedona, AZ Conference – January 2004

Donna & I took this trip to Arizona to attend a conference in Phoenix. We stopped at Sedona on the way.

Sedona’s main attraction is its array of red sandstone formations. The formations appear to glow in brilliant orange and red when illuminated by the rising or setting sun.
