A few years ago, I took a helicopter ride from Wickenburg Arizona to Sedona for lunch at the Sedona airport. Two friends joined me for the trip so that we could view that wonderful red-rock scenery from the air.
After lifting off from the Wickenburg air field, we started to pass over rolling hills of the Wickenburg Mountains and we could see bits of the Hassayampa River.
It wasn't long before we were seeing the mountains ahead of starting to turn that rusty color that the Sedona area is known for.
As we got closer, the red color was becoming stronger.
When we turn over the hills, we start to see the crags and canyons.
We made a wide turn over the city of Sedona and looked down over the houses, businesses and roads of the town.
Finally, we made our approach over the beautiful red mesas to land at the Sedona airport.
We had a lovely lunch at the restaurant at the airport and then we flew back to Wickenburg, this time getting an even closer view of the Hassayampa River. It was one of those once in a lifetime experiences. I've enjoyed the beauty of Sedona on many occasions but viewing it from the air was something special.
