Red Rock Country (surrounding Sedona, AZ) is a colourful collection
of buttes, pinnacles, mesas and canyons and is famous the world over for
its vistas & spiritual healing.
Over the years, this area has been the setting of many western novels &
movies and has been the subject of uncounted paintings, photographs and other
works of art. The remains of ancient wetlands, these crimson cliffs have been
carved by the forces of the southwest desert into one of Nature's most
endearing masterpieces.
NOTE : The Woods Canyon TH is closed due to the construction of new
FS offices and grounds of the Red Rock Ranger District. (This trailhead will
remain closed until a suitable access point can be identified in the new
ranger station area and connections constructed).
To access the Woods Canyon Trail, please use the Hot Loop Trail via the
Jacks Canyon TH off of Jacks Canyon Road - further to the north.
(Jacks Canyon was named for an abundance of 'jackrabbits' in this area.)
Here, we see Wild Horse Mesa towering over two Fremont Cottonwood trees growing near the SW edge of the 18,150-acre Munds Mountain Wilderness Area in central Arizona.
