Arizona
It's a Grand (Canyon) State!
I only have a few pictures of Arizona right now, but maybe I'll have more in the future. I took some pictures of the sites in the state (like the Petrified Forest, Meteor Crater, Grand Canyon, Grand Canyon Caverns, and Sedona), but I'm not sure whether to put those pictures on the site just now. But here are a few road-related snaps from May 2007! I'll let you guess where the top picture was taken. Enjoy, homies!
 This
is in Flagstaff, on US 180. Notice how "Route 66" is a prominent road
here. |
 West
of Flagstaff on old Route 66 WB. |
 Looking
south on AZ 64 SB and US 180 EB. US 180 does indeed start at the Grand
Canyon, despite what some maps show. |
 Some
shields for you. |
 I
liked how these clouds formed. |
 I-40
EB west of Flagstaff. |
 Same
description as last picture. |
 Skip
ahead to SB AZ 89A. That's a lot of letters and numbers right there. |
 More
of the same. |
 Still
southbound on AZ 89A. Near Oak Creek Canyon. |
 Looking
at AZ 89A from the top of Oak Creek Canyon. |
 Some
pretty scenery on AZ 89A, descending into the canyon. |
 This
is a slow-going road. But for good reason, as there are lots of twists
and turns all at a steep grade. |
 Such
as this one. |
 Elevation
6,000 feet and descending. |
 I
think you can make up your own caption on this one. |
 Oooh,
pretty! |
 More
prettiness on AZ 89A. |
 This
is a pretty busy road, despite the harsh curves and hills. |
 Forests
are pretty! |
 Closer
to Sedona now. |
 Cool
rock formations. |
 Finally
coming into Sedona. |
 Looking
back north on AZ 89A in downtown Sedona. This is the tourist block of
town. |
 Schnebly.
Schnebly Schnebly Schnebly!!! |
 AZ
179 connects downtown Sedona with I-17. |
 And
this is what it looks like on the southeast side of Sedona. |
 AZ
179 SB. |
 My
first time on I-17! |
 Even
though there are curves and mountains to deal with, the speed limit is still
75 m.p.h. |
 Mileage
to Flagstaff. |
 Look
at the big gap between the northbound and southbound lanes! |
 Just
so you can experience a BGS on I-17. |
 Last,
and most certainly least, a blurry view of I-17 as it makes an S shape. |
That's all for now, folks, but maybe you'll see some scenery pictures here sometime.
