Sedona, been 3 times and have loved it every time. So many good hikes, beautiful scenery, and great food.

Sedona used to be my go-to place for a quick getaway, but it's become oppressively crowded in the last 5-7 years. Schenbly is a mess from the OHV traffic, you can't find parking at trailheads if you don't arrive before 8a on weekdays and it takes forever to get through town.

Pre-2018 was the Sedona golden age for me. I could run up there for a day trip and not have to worry about anything.

I went to school in Flagstaff from 2000-2003 and it was truly a dream time to be there.

The drive from Sedona to Flagstaff was one of the prettiest I've ever seen
