We took our recommended de-tour to Sedona whilst on our way to the Grand Canyon, and oh boy were we glad Brittany told us to do this. Sedona is a real hidden gem (its not really a hidden tourist attraction but it wasn't on our itinerary as we were so focused on researching the grand canyon).
We set off from Phoenix at about 11am. The journey was a 2.5 hour drive to Sedona. We stopped off at the all American diner 'Denny's' for lunch. Denny's was a place i definitely wanted to visit whilst here, so i loved my scrambled egg, fruit, bacon and muffin lunch. Cj had a burger, we were sadly too stuffed for pancakes which was the reason i wanted to go, so we'll just have to come back.
We gave our waitress a big tip as she was a very jolly and kind person.
Back in the car and we drove another hour to see Devil's bridge in Sedona. The walk to the bridge from the car park was about a 3 mile round trip. We started walking into the red rocks to find the bridge. It was about 3pm so it wasn't too hot. We were amazed by Sedona. The view was one we had never seen before. Cj was mesmorised.
Devil's bridge was a bit riskaayy. Its a 2 metre wide rock bridge that goes from one side of the small canyon to another. Not many people can bundle on to the bridge so there is a bit of a queue system. Cj jumped on it first with his pose then i went on after a class of school of kids. I decided to step off the safety Bridge and onto a lower platform closer to the edge, i was tempted to go further towards the edge as i had seen a pic on google of someone sitting right on the edge and thought it looked cool, but as soon as i stepped off the main bridge everyone standing on the other side was saying 'ooohhh nooo' so thought maybe it wasn't a good idea and sat on the closest rock. It was pretty scary looking down.
We got our cool pics and walked back to the car. It started to get quite cold and it felt like it was about to rain so we wanted to get back to the car as soon as possible. Its not very well sign posted and we got a bit lost. Luckily Sedona is quite popular so we could hear people walking and managed to get back on the right path.
