“Sedona was Looney 30 yrs ago”
More like the last 50 years. And you’d probably find that the first big wave of new age kooks moved there from NYC.
Every place where they can make a buck off the venue because of the scenery etc., they’ll do it. Those venues mostly get populated by liberals, artsy lefty types who have money. I can’t even think of a major patriotic owned/supported venue that attracts millions like the leftist run entities. Just like Santa Fe NM, Orlando, Disney Anaheim. National parks, same thing, run by the Communist who hijacked this government. Jack up the rates, reservations only, punitive rules, threaten to shut them down unless they get more money, arm the rangers...on and on.
It’s always best to avoid tourist bait venues.
