Think Pink – Sedona, Rocks

The Hilton Sedona Resort at Bell Rock offers a one-stop destination shop

By J. Adam Burch and Stacey Lane

The layers of history are all around you, these formations and colors you cannot find in the Grand Canyon. Iron-oxide has seeped and stained exposed Coconino Sandstone since the Paleozoic era. It tops the list of ‘most visited’ since the 1980’s as four million visitors make a ‘new age’ pilgrimage every year to the old, rusty canyon. Part of the vast Colorado Plateau and the receding cliffs of the Mogollon Rim, picturesque views of Sedona, Arizona will stun and render you spiritual.
Oceans roared and receded over this area millions of years ago depositing layers of different sediment, hundreds of feet thick that make the rouged terrain seen today.  You will be awed by the arches and natural bridges along with the fauna and colorful flora.
