This panorama was taken from Bell Rock and shows Courthouse Butte against a background of other peaks in the Sedona, Arizona, area.

We traveled Wednesday from Joshua Tree National Park to Flagstaff and from California to Arizona. Yesterday I hiked in the Sedona area south of Flagstaff and did about nine miles of trail near Courthouse Butte and Bell Rock, including a climb of Bell Rock. The view here is from the south side of Bell Rock and the formation is Courthouse Butte.

The photo was taken along the Big Park Loop south of Sedona, Arizona, where I hiked yesterday. The loop is part of system of trails in the most popular hiking area near Sedona. When the photo was taken I had finished climbing Bell Rock, the formation in the photo and had circled the rock just below the vertical top park, a rather daunting endeavor for me.
