Spring Break in Arizona

Have you ever gone on a vacation that you will never forget? Over this Spring I went to Arizona to visit Sedona. Sedona is a smaller town but a lot of people go there for vacation. There are a lot of attractions. My family and I went on the Pink Jeep tour, stayed in a nice hotel, went hiking and had a great time; it is a fun time for everyone!
Over this spring break I went to Arizona. Our main reason for going to Arizona was to see the Grand Canyon, but along the way we stopped at a city called Sedona that was just waiting to see us. When we got there we did a lot of cool things but the one thing that popped out at me was something called the Pink Jeep Tour. The Pink Jeep Tours are so fun because when your riding the driver goes over all these really steep hills and trails. It’s kind of freaky looking over the edge when your riding. Actually my sister before we started going on the trails said “Dad are we going to die?” So my sister was a little freaked out being so close to the edge. The driver did say that you go over 2000 foot drops so that kind of freaked me out as well. It was all worth it going to the edge of some cliffs and seeing all of the beautiful scenery though. Overall everyone in my family enjoyed it and we’ll never forget it.
Although the Jeep Tours were fun, so was hiking all of the trails Sedona had to offer. We did a lot of hiking while in Sedona. But my favorite and I think the rest of my families favorite was the Bell Rock trail. Now the Bell Rock trail is not an ordinary trail that you are just walking parallel to the ground. This trail you could climb all the way to the top of the biggest rock in Sedona, the Bell Rock. Once we started climbing I kept seeing the ground get farther and farther away from me. Once we got up to almost the top we decided to stop and look at the view. And boy was there ever a view. When you looked down you could see the whole city and all of it’s mountains and forests. It was amazing to see all of that it was almost like a dream. That really made me remember when my family and I went to Mammoth Cave and saw all of the stalagtites and stalagmites I don’t really know why I thought of that but it made me think of that. But for some reason I did.
That vacation was the best I’ve ever gone on. I would definitely go back to Sedona again sometime. Going on the Pink Jeep Tour and hiking the Bell Rock Trail was so much fun. I’ve never had so much fun in my life. And I think that anyone would have fun going there. Me and my family will never forget it!!
