Along the way to Crown King, you’ll pass several abandoned mines, collapsing cabins and ghost towns, but you will be rewarded in Crown King with a look back into the world of a late 19th and early 20th century mining town, with weathered timber cabins, abandoned mines, a fading cemetery, an old-time general store and saloon and a thousand tales about the good old days.
Sedona exists at an impossible intersection of soul-nourishing wilderness and pampered luxury— where soaring red rock monoliths cradle an array of resorts, spas, art galleries and boutique wineries. Regarded by Native Americans as sacred, Sedona continues to be recognized as a place of healing and spiritual renewal.
