Everything glowed today, and the photos just don’t show it.
Finally left my Yarnell home at 11:30am. I’m really not a morning person but had planned for a little earlier. Oh well, got to visiting with Berta and the morning flew by. Eventually I hit the road, US 89A North through Prescott and Jerome, into the glow of Verde Valley and Sedona, up the winding Oak Creek canyon, then east of Flagstaff to Meteor Crater.
Sorry about the windshield reflection
Just a tiny bit of snow to glow on the Bradshaw Mountains south of Prescott.
Headed up over the Black Mountains… (The junipers glowed in the sun.)
…and down…
through Jerome, an adorable old mining tourist town clinging to the mountain side.
Continued down into the Verde Valley and the whole valley seemed to glow.
North through Sedona, too rich for me to stop in. Yet the red rocks had a glow all their own.
I was driving a curvy road
Followed Oak Creek winding up the canyon through some amazing rock layers.
Oak Cree Canyon
I felt surrounded by a glow.
Topped out into a Ponderosa Pine forest. They always glow for me.
East of Flagstaff the glowing golden land stretches far.

Now here I sit at the Meteor Crater RV Park try repeatedly to post so I can start reading your blogs. This WIFI keeps knocking me around, sometimes slower than dial-up.
Tomorrow, the Crater.
I’m all aglow.

lucky duck! Meteor Crater was one of my favorite places.
I got a call today asking me to come earlier than planned, so we will be arriving at the Rim on 4/24, leaving here 4/21. Probably won’t see you guys in Yarnell again until next fall.
I am glowing listening to your glowing trip. Very beautiful. It brings back great memories. I especially like Oak Creek Canyon. Stacey and i wish we could have journeyed with you. I guess, in some ways we just did.
I am not much of a morning person either, but when we will be hiking this summer, we will often be woken gently and playfully by the sun. So we will make the transition from night owl to sun worshiper.
Have a great trip! We look forward to more of your findings..
I am glad you are on a magical journey! It sounds like your energy is soaring, thus making everything glow for you! Keep enjoying your spectacular surroundings!
I was just telling someone about the Meteor Crater and the Painted Desert. What lovely places they are. If I remember correctly they were fairly close to each other. I am looking forward to those pictures but these are brilliant too. Have a fantastic trip Gaelyn and think of me. 🙂
Get rid of that comment above me by ED, it’s spam and not nice.
The little town clinging to the mountain made me smile and the scenery is jaw dropping. It’s a big world out there.
Those are beautiful pictures of such a breathtaking place! You’re having quite an adventure out there 🙂
i am so loving your trip thus far…taking me through places i have been many times but through your eyes…which, of course makes a huge difference. the photos are beautiful. enjoy your journey.
Beautiful! I just love AZ.
A glowing review of your first day. Those ravines are fantastic. I so smiled when you mentioned Jerome; my family stopped there when I was a child and for some reason I always remembered it. Thanks for the great pics.
Enjoying your glowing trip so far. Love those red rocks and green pines! That little town of Jerome looked interesting too.
I have NEVER suffered from envy, but I am getting pretty close.
So that strange cloud formation in picture two is a dirty windshield?
Beautiful photos from your drive. I’ve always wanted to go to Sedona, but I’ve heard it’s very touristy, which isn’t really our kind of place. Look forward to seeing the meteor crater.
Wonderful Gaelyn, just a breathtaking journey. And I have actually been to Sedona and Flagstaff 30 yrs ago!
Great to stumble on this blog–one of the reasons I love the blogging world so much. I am enchanted by your blog profile. Yes, I agree with you that Sedona is too rich. Though I did enjoy seeing Coffeepot Rock last time I was there. Those pics of Oak Creek Canyon must have been difficult to take while driving. I’ve been through there and that is quite a feat!
Wow, what a great drive! Thanks for taking us along!
Are you enjoying your new traveling home?
Glad to see you had a glowing day.
Hope the wifi keeps u online
Just caught up on your last two posts. Interesting places I have never read about before. The land you travelled in this post seems to go from scrub to forest to plains.
This is Berta here – just saw and read your wonderful stuff – Gave me a real feeling for where you are/were/ will be next. How much did they want for the Maralyn figure on the left of the last photo at the Crater RV park
I’m uncurable!!!
LOVE YOU LOADS
hurry back but have a bell
