  • Very cool rock formations! These are all read rock you drive by, it is really cool! It is free to drive by on the byway, you don't need to pay a toll or anything! There are however a few places you can stop, but you may have to pay for those. Along the way, you can find some rock formations that you can climb! Everything here is really neat, and if you happen to be around Sedona, you should make this drive!
  • It is a byway surrounded by beautiful rock formations far and near. It is just amazing to see all these red rocks and mountains with different sharps and forms. You can follow the road map to explore all the creations!
