Day 8 - Thursday 4/15/10 Red Rock Jeep Tour





































This afternoon we were picked up by Michael, our driver/guide for our Red Rock Jeep Tour. We choose the Old Bear Wallow Tour. This tour takes you on the early stagecoach route along Schnebly Hill Road through Bear Wallow Canyon just below the Mogollon Rim to enjoy stunning views of Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon 2000 feet below. This was also the old route from Flagstaff to Sedona. We went to a place that is called Merry Go Round because of the rock formations. There you will find a tree that was used in Elvis' movie Stay Away Joe. It is the scene in which Elvis is chase the two girls around the tree. Of course I had to have our picture taken here (these are the bottom two pics on the right). You will see by the sampling of pics I have posted that this is a gorgeous area. It is from here that Walt Disney got the idea for Thunder Mountain,the picture of his inspiration is the top right pic.
