Right up the road (hiway 89) is Oak Creek Canyon--a beautiful oasis of green surrounded by red rock canyons.� Perfect Vanagon camping....too bad it'll be back home...but check it out for future reference; crowded on weekends (people escaping Phoenix) but fine during the week.� On your way there, check out Slide Rock State Park:� water cascading over polished rock, you can swim/play on Nature's Slip 'n' Slide.� Water will be cold, but the air temps will make up for it.�� Also, about 20 miles eastward is Montezuma's Castle:� pretty cool Indian cliff dwellings you can climb around in.� Southward about an hour is Jerome:� ghost town, good exploring there, too.� 

There are a couple lakes north of Montezuma's Castle a few miles; not sure about fishing and all, but had a nice picnic rest stop there once.� Good to walk around the lakes, take a dip, cool off.

Sedona itself is pleasant enough, especially this time of year, but bring a fat wallet!

Last chance for me to come up with stuff to do while family is in Sedona,
AZ.� Seems there are ALOT of psychics and relaxation therapists there, but
not much else.� Any tips would be appreciated.� Outdoors fishing, hiking,
biking(have to rent one) and such.� Please save me from a 'Spa' vacation
with my wife!
