Roadtrip Day 2: Grand Canyon to Sedona

On Tuesday morning we woke up to temps in the mid 30's and it started SNOWING at the Grand Canyon! Riley loved it! We just couldn't believe we had gone from the 90's in Phoenix on Monday morning to the mid 30's at the Grand Canyon on Tuesday morning! Even though it was cloudy it was so beautiful to see it snowing at the canyon. The pictures just can't capture the beauty of it!



On our way out of the park we saw wild elk on the side of the road!

Sedona was about a 2 hour drive away. Sedona is known as "Red Rock Country" and it was beautiful! We had a view of red rocks from our hotel rooms. Once we checked in at our hotel we headed out to see the Chapel of the Holy Cross, which is a chapel built into red rocks. The views from this elevation were beautiful.


Then we headed to Tlaquepaque for some shopping and an authentic Mexican dinner at El Rincon. We had their specialty...homemade machaca beef chimichangas and Riley enjoyed their cheese quesadilla! Then we did some shopping in downtown Sedona complete with dessert from a fudge shop. When we got to our rooms we had just missed sunset but it was beautiful nonetheless!
