Arizona’s Sleeping Giants

Rolling out with Scenic Sedona Tours

Posted

There is an architecture of mystery that draws millions to invisible forces that have the ability to heal and build generations. It is nestled in a red rock canyon, surrounded by rattlesnakes, at the foot of sleeping giants harboring Sasquatch, near the Lizard Head. In the wilds of Coconino County’s haunting history, countless individuals flock to Arizona’s northern territory.

Portrayed in many a movie and a cool hot-spot to many a Hollywood superstar, this Dark-Sky community earns praises for touring the origin stories of one of old west Americas greatest treasures and remains a sanctuary for Tibetan prayer flags to fly freely in the healing winds of Sedona.

Joseph Cantrell, a software engineer from Los Angeles, California explained in an uptown cantina that the visit here was due to the many stories heard. “I wanted to see it for myself,” Mr. Cantrell said with a reassuring smile. “Our tour guide was great and informational, steering us all in the right direction.”

Cantrell is typical of what people might meet on a picturesque tour of Permian Era sights; a time 300 million years ago responsible for the geological formations of today’s Red Rock Country.

In this case, Scenic Sedona Tours took the lead in providing a spotlight for the major in-town attractions of an exciting and enigmatic experience. There is no script, nor restrictions on the more fringe aspects of such an inexplicable exploration of this energizing environment. Roll along the tour with a visit to the Chapel of the Holy Cross on The Red Rock Scenic Byway, the gateway to the Red Rock Country of Sedona. Capitol Butte, already known as Thunder Mountain, inspired the Painted Desert ride in one of the most infamous theme parks in the world. Electrical storms of the summer monsoon seem to be attracted to the mountainous monolith and the myths about why still charge imaginations today.

A vortex is described as a location where positive energy is said to be magnified beyond ordinary levels, where one might experience enhanced perception of spiritual energy. In the 1970s, Rachel Patty Lunt had such an experience of beautiful positivity at what has come to be known as Rachel’s Knoll, located in Seven Canyons, in perfect harmony with the natural environment and the spirit of Sedona. One of the many stops while on tour as Sedona is filled with special vortex energy sites, a couple to be spotlighted while traveling through the brilliant clarity of the Arizona air that swirls past in the comfortably shaded, open-air bus.

Passing through the Dark-Sky Community itself, there will be stops such as Tlaquepaque Arts and Shopping Village, which exhibits various refreshments for the eyes as well as the mind and body. Local artisans embody their talents in objects available for sale, from pottery to heavenly flavors of local cuisine.
Eat and shop with fellow explorers, or simply rest and soak in the scenic views from various available balconies, patios, and overlook points.

Many visit, but some come to stay in Sedona, as stewards of the Earth. They choose a healthy, long life, passing the knowledge through family, generations choosing to preserve humanity as guards and being called by the land, rather than passing through as tribes in the past.

Ancient stories of giants roaming across the world to savage, or save may explain the outline of the nearby mountain ranges and why they look as though a giant took a moment to surrender and lie down to sleep. The beauty of this land remains, to amaze and bring to mind the power of goodness. Learn all about the fascinating history, geology, and majestic mountains that are home to mysterious forces that defy explanation. The fully inclusive half-day tour runs daily.
