A place in Sedona that we always stopped at was the tiny little coffee shop designed and created for Pink Jeep Tours. We loved to get the pumpkin chai. I was writing a post telling everyone about it and found out they have recently closed. Do any of you have a place you lived going to that is no longer in business? We used to grab a cup of chai and then sit outside overlooking one of the most beautiful views in Sedona with amazing rock formations. One morning, long ago, we sat here for what felt like hours, then we decided to go for a hike. The trail we chose that day was Devil’s Bridge and oh what fun we had!
The picturesque trail was covered in red sand and surrounded by glorious sandstone structures abound. I decided to walk barefoot through the sand for the entire 3.9 mile loop and Chris followed suit since he loves being barefoot. Our dog had the time of his life with all the smells of Spring around us. Flowers were blooming everywhere and the sandstone had a rich red hue combined with orange and purple details throughout the landscape. The path was aligned with juniper trees and indigenous bushes along with cacti. The hike to the bridge did get a bit steep so be mindful of that while you push forward for an amazing view. We were happy to get a picture at the top with our dog as it was one of his last hikes. I hope you all get the opportunity to see this wonder one day. Sedona is a beautiful magical place and full of smiles if you ever get the chance to see it. Highly recommend any trail there.
I included my painting “Woman of the Rock” which is actually from Red Rock Canyon. I wanted to show the colors of Sedona the day we hiked and this painting was the closest representation of that day. A limited number of Prints are available on my website. Each one is signed by me!! Thank you for reading, supporting my art, and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
