I live very close to here (Prescott) and can tell you 48 is a hidden gem! The entire northern half of the state is gorgeous. Sedona is just the tip of the iceberg!

I just drove through the full stretch of Northern Arizona and it was absolutely jaw-droppingly beautiful from beginning to end.

One of the most memorable days of my life was seeing that there was a solar eclipse in the newspaper that was going to cross the grand canyon, dropping everything I had that day and blasting up I-17 to go see the eclipse.

Even though it was only an annular eclipse rather than a total eclipse, just being at the grand canyon with all of these people experiencing the nature of the canyon and the eclipse happening, where everyone is there together to experience the eclipse was absolutely mystical.

Definitely one of the greatest days of my life.

This Sedona place has been popping up a lot here lately, and seems absolutely gorgeous

It's quite the sight!

I think it doesn't get as much attention as other areas because it's not a national park. It's kind of a mess of private land, state and municipal parks as well as BLM land. There's a ton of natural beauty but also a lot of commercial development.

It's kinda helping it, doesn't it. Gorgeous, yet not that many tourists
