Looks to me that that pic was taken atop the rim coming from Flag before you dropped down over the rim. Would you believe that the woods off to your side was logged just a few years ago? It was.
We were staying in Cottonwood and came in from the Sedona side. But yes, that was on our way out of the canyon. It was Saturday and there was incredible crowds. Taking pics was difficult but I got these on the way out. We traveled through Flagstaff and on to Williams for lunch. This was all new to me as I live in San Diego. SD was on fire when I rolled out of here last Thursday. Now that area is on fire. It’s going to be a tough summer.
