It wasn't the highlight of the trip, but a nice drive. We were there around sunset and the lighting made the colors really beautiful.

Beautiful country and springtime is always great anywhere. We were so lucky that the traffic was light and we could take our time. Looking for wildlife is always fun.

I live here year round! It's my understanding that this is the largest Ponderosa Pine forest in the world. The forest is filled with numerous destinations for camping, fishing, hiking or just hanging out. Just be careful when you visit. Pick up your trash and be vigilant with any fires.

The CNF includes more than I can mention, but I love the San Francisco Peaks around Flag, the national monuments throughout, the Red Rock Sec.Mtn. Wilderness, and Sedona area. I'm in the CNF nearly everyday hiking, jeepin, or just having a picnic at bootlegger or one of the other spots off of hwy 89 and oak creek. It's wonderful!

There are a lot of nice trails for hiking and lots of nice scenery. One of my favorite trails is the Slate Mountain Trail. When you get to the top you get a nice panoramic view and can see all the way to the Grand Canyon on a clear day.

We are spending the month of January in Sedona and almost every excursion includes traveling through an area of the Cocnino NF. Every time it takes your breath away - the natural beauty and peacefulness is beyond belief. The most awesome drive is 89A from Sedona to Flagstaff - we've done it 3 times already and each time there's something... More

My back yard is the Coconino Forest. I walk out the back gate and I never know what I will see. The is hiking is some of the best in the country. There are many places to dry camp for free and the forest holds many local secret places off the beaten path.
