From Phoenix, we along
highway 17 north. At first the surrounding is still a typical desert landscape
-- on both sides of the road, gravel desert stretches, and we can't see patches
of green. Two lanes, the growth of the plants are also adapted to the harsh
conditions of the desert -- leaves little, surface are often covered with a
layer of wax, in the hot sun bright, more easy to let a person produce hot
feeling. The distant mountain, we can see a few thorns stands -- that is a huge
Cactus Tree, which is the typical landscape of Phoenix area.

Highway 17 is two lanes,
meandering in the peak to valley. Affected by topography, two roads meet each
other halfway between in some places some distance, sometimes even through a
deep canyon. This also leads to people drive with great care, speed was
generally slow. As the car along the mountain gradually climbing, my eardrums
began to pressure which produces to the height change adaptation process.

also be good to see.

and plain compared seems insufficient power -- I do not know is not the high
altitude hypoxia effects.

geographical scenery beauty, the source of the name is from a beautiful lady

completely surrounded around the Coconino national forest. As early as 11000
years ago, the Sedona region of human habitation there, of course, is that the
