Leslie has been looking forward to this tour for the last three days. We arrived in Sedona in time to have lunch at The Vault on the patio with a beautiful view of the red mountains. We met our guide, Lucian, along with the other guests on the tour. The Jeeps they use are highly modified Jeep Wranglers. The modifications are done in their own modification and maintenance center. We took the Rim Tour which follows the old (1890s era) wagon trail out of the valley towards Flagstaff. In the 1890s and early 1900s, it would take three weeks to go to flagstaff and back. The road is minimally maintained, mostly by the tour operators, and less so by the National Forest Service. David secured the front passenger seat and Leslie jumped in the back and bounced around. Lucian gave us a running commentary about the history of Sedona, the road, and geology of the rocks along the way. The views were very scenic from the upper portion of the road. The ride was bumpy, but a lot smoother than if we had done that road in the Behemoth!
