Sedona, was the place I was looking forward to the most on my solo campervan trip. A land of history, vortexes, and beauty. I wanted to spend as much time as possible in Sedona, so I started the engine early. The drive from the Grand Canyon to Sedona was the most beautiful drive. I passed through Flagstaff and learned they have a ski hill. Next, I drove through a valley of pine trees and sycomores. I saw people pulling up to campsites and walking with fishing poles. I could smell the river and the fresh air, but nothing would beat seeing the red cliffs of Sedona as I exited the green valley. Naturally, the first thing I wanted was some local coffee. I visited a shop called Cuptown, where I got a house special rose chai. After that was ventured through the town of Sedona, walking through shops and enjoying the surrounding views. I came across a barefoot man in a robe standing in the center of town with a bunch of snakes. I walked up, and he handed me a snake as we talked about his mission to rescue reptiles of all kinds. After a while, I thanked him for his time and continued on. There were several galleries scattered around town and one in particular, piqued my interest: Bearcloud Gallery. When I entered, I was blown away by the masterpieces that lay in front of me. I spoke with Tina, who ran the gallery, for half an hour. We discussed the art, and she gave me recommendations for places to eat and hike in town. I was then introduced to Bearcloud himself. He was a kind man who shared his experiences and the meaning of his work. After a nice conversation, I bid the two goodbye and got ready to explore the natural oasis of Sedona.
