Sedona staging stop

Found this handy little gem with plenty of options in 3 directions at the stop sign a short way in. Opted for the first pullout on the left of the left option. Great breeze and an awesome sunset. Just a stone fire pit, which seemed to be the norm at other sites. Bit of trash left behind but was an easy clean up. I-17 traffic noise was minimal.
