In the Shadow of Courthouse Tower:
As the red rocks absorb the late evening sun, a warm glow spreads throughout the surrounding landscape. This surreal blend of red rock, wild cactus, and singing birds, compose a symphony of nature around every turn. Located at the lower end of Arizona's spectacular Oak Creek Canyon, Sedona is renowned for its stunning red buttes, monoliths, and surrounding lush forests. This image, captured on the forward slope of Bell Rock, reveals the harsh, rugged landscape between Courthouse Butte, and the distant red canyon walls that channel the Courthouse Butte Trail. Sedona is located in both Coconino and Yavapai Counties and is surrounded by the Coconino National Forest.
