Apache Junction to Dead Horse Ranch State Park

Weird names, eh? Today we left the KOA in Phoenix on our way to the Grand Canyon. Well, a little bit south of the the GC because it's snowing there and very cold. But it was a gorgeous route and we're at a GORGEOUS state park.


As we set up the camper, the kids pulled out their rip-sticks (2-wheeled skateboards) and explored the nice pavement at the park. Then we loaded up and took the scenic Red Rock Loop to Sedona.

Our little excursion from the park to Sedona looked like this above.
