Hotels Close to Clemenceau Heritage Museum
The Clemenceau Heritage Museum is maintained and operated by volunteers from the non-profit Verde Historical Society. The museum preserves and displays the artifacts and heritage - written, oral, living - of the Verde Valley. Admission is free, donations gratefully accepted.
History
The Clemenceau Heritage Museum opened in November 1991, occupying former classrooms of the Clemenceau School. It was (and is) a labor of love and dedication on the part of the Verde Historical Society, whose members put in countless volunteer hours to make the museum a reality, and who continue to staff and maintain it, ensuring the continued preservation of the history of the Verde Valley.
The town of Clemenceau was originally named Verde. James Douglas, Pres. & George Kingdon, Dir. in front of Clemenceau Bank. It was founded in 1917 by James Douglas as a company town to house workers for his nearby United Verde Extension (UVX) copper smelter. Since other towns by the same name already existed in Arizona, the post office requested the name be changed. It was renamed Clemenceau after French Premier, Georges Clemenceau, a good friend of Douglas.

Cathedral Rock
Sedona AZ
~14.55 miles from Cottonwood city center
Hotels Close to Cathedral Rock
This is a short, steep climb into the saddle points or "gaps" of Cathedral Rock. The towering side rocks keep the saddle points shaded and breezy; but the lower portion of the trail is bare red rock with total sun exposure - be careful if you're doing this in the summer.
Trailhead: From the 89A / 179 "Y" ... take 179 south 3.4 miles;
turn right on Back O' Beyond Road for 0.6 miles;
parking lot is on your left.
Length: 1.5 miles (up and back) Elevation change: 600 ft
A hike up Cathedral rock, especially at sunrise or sunset is unforgettable. Rising sharply above the desert floor, Cathedral is topped by twin spires, and a large saddle in between that offers spectacular views of both the east and western portions of Sedona. The hike from Back O' Beyond trail is relatively easy, and although I've heard you can hike up from the Red Rock Crossing creek area, I haven't yet tried that side of the mountain.
If you plan to catch the sunrise, start about 45 minutes beforehand in order to give yourself plenty of time. The sun breaks over the far buttes in blazing glory and the rocks light up with the most incredible orange-red as the sun brings them to life.
At sunset you can sit on one of the many shelves on the western side of the saddle and watch the creek below turn to silvery glass while the light dissolves into the landscape. Ravens squawk overhead, zooming in between the buttes and laughing at life while the sky turns a most magnificent blue. Bring a blanket or jacket in the spring or fall. The temperature drops quickly in the high desert.
There are charming legends etched in the stones here. From the west side of the saddle look back at the two spires in between the main ones and you will notice that they look like a man and woman standing back to back. According to the story the man and woman once lived in the peaceful valley below. However, they were anything but peaceful! The bickered incessantly until one day the Great Spirit told them that they must reconcile their differences or their hearts would harden and they would turn to stone. Unfortunately, they never came to agreement and today their forms are etched in the spires as a testament to what happens when two people don't find peace with one another!
With or without the legends, Cathedral is indeed a sacred spot. The vortex is a conical pile of black lava rocks just below the western ledge of the saddle. You can follow a very narrow trail there and climb carefully up the rocks. I felt quite happily dizzy when I attempted this. Go slow. If you are sensitive to energy you may feel as if you are entering a strong current at this point. And even if you're not interested in feeling energy, you will certainly enjoy the spectacular views that this relatively easy climb affords you.

Bell Rock
Sedona AZ
~15.32 miles from Cottonwood city center
Hotels Close to Bell Rock
Bell Rock, a famous Sedona landmark, rises up to the sky just beyond the village of Oak Creek. While there is no clearly defined hiking trail, the well-worn slopes are easily traversed. Bring a book, lunch, and some water then find a scenic perch on which you can spend a lazy afternoon.
If you're an intrepid hiker or an adventurer you may want to try climbing near the top of Bell Rock. To get there take the little trail from the parking area until it disappears then head to the right and towards the center of Bell. Keep curving right and center until you find yourself facing a large canyon-like, very smooth wash area to the left (center of Bell). This water-worn wash goes all the way up near the top. Climb up towards the wash.
Bell Rock You will reach a spot where you have a choice between clambering up a six foot wall with narrow footholds, or scooting (is that a word?) up a narrow slot in the rocks about two feet wide and eight feet tall. I prefer scooting after trying both methods. Feels safer. From there, you can carefully walk up the canyon/washed out area until you reach the next climbing level. There is a series of rock ledges to the right that aren't too hard to climb and once you reach the top of these, the rest of the climb is a set of simple stair-steps to the highest point you can reach without ropes. Enjoy this view for a very long time!

Chapel of the Holy Cross
Sedona AZ
~16.33 miles from Cottonwood city center
Hotels Close to Chapel of the Holy Cross
The unique architecture and location of the Chapel of the Holy Cross are the inspirations of Marguerite Bruswig Staude, who went on a trip to New York City in 1932. She observed that a cross could be seen in the newly constructed Empire State Building when viewed from a certain angle, and was inspired to built a church based on that design.
Staude kept an eye out all over Europe and the USA for the ideal location, and she was especially struck by the beauty of Sedona. She decided to build her chapel here, which would be "a monument to faith, but a spiritual fortress so charged with God, that it spurs man's spirit godward." The Chapel of the Holy Cross was completed in April 1956.

Devil's Bridge
Sedona AZ
~17.52 miles from Cottonwood city center
Hotels Close to Devil's Bridge
Despite its name, the Devil's Bridge Trail rewards hikers with heavenly vistas of the backcountry west of Sedona.
The rugged sandstone arch tucked away in a small canyon a couple of miles off Dry Creek Road is a popular destination, and for good reason: a short and easy hike, fairly easy access to the trailhead and panoramic views of Sedona's cream-and-salmon cliffs.
The Devil's Bridge Trail is one of several fine hikes that begin off Forest Road 152, also known as Vultee Arch Road. Although the road is rough in places, you won't need four-wheel drive as long as it isn't wet or icy. (You might feel more comfortable in a high-clearance vehicle, though.)
The hike begins off a small, well-signed parking area on the eastern side of the road. The first part of the trail is an old jeep route that is wide and fairly level. It leads through a scrubby high-desert forest of oak, piñon, juniper and manzanita. Before long, the sandy, coral-colored trail works its way uphill, slowly at first, then more steeply.
Vistas to the north and west expand dramatically as you climb, but the natural bridge remains hidden for most of the hike.
Look for a split in the trail about three-quarters of a mile from the parking area. The left-hand path leads down through brush to the underside of the bridge, which looms about 50 feet overhead. While you're there, be sure to check out the weirdly shaped hollows and crevices on the rock wall to the east.
Return to the junction and follow the right-hand trail up a steep natural-rock staircase to an open area offering splendid views. A steeper climb leads to an even higher level, where you'll find cairns leading to the bridge, about 100 yards to the east.
It takes only an hour or so for the round-trip hike to the bridge, but allow yourself extra time for taking photos and soaking up the wonderful views.
When: Fall, winter and spring are best.
Where: About 125 miles from central Phoenix. Take Interstate 17 north to Exit 298. Go west (left) on Arizona 179 about 15 miles to downtown Sedona. From the "Y" intersection of Arizona 179 and 89A, go west (left) about 3 miles on 89A to Dry Creek Road. Turn north (right) and go 2 miles to Vultee Arch Road (Forest Road 152). Turn east (right) and continue 1.3 miles to the trailhead.

Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village
Sedona AZ
~17.74 miles from Cottonwood city center
Hotels Close to Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village
Your unforgettable Sedona experience must include spending time at internationally renowned Tlaquepaque (pronounced Tla-keh-pah-keh), Sedona Arizona's Arts & Crafts Village. Nestled beneath the shade of the sycamores on the banks of beautiful Oak Creek in Sedona, Tlaquepaque is the most distinctive shopping experience to be found in the Southwest. Authentically fashioned after a traditional Mexican village, Tlaquepaque, meaning the "best of everything," has been a Sedona landmark since the 1970's. Its vine covered stucco walls, cobble-stoned walkways and magnificent arched entryways give you the feeling that Tlaquepaque has been here for centuries. Tasteful galleries and unique shops live in harmony with its lush natural environment where giant sycamore trees stand in testimony to the care taken in preserving the timeless beauty of the Tlaquepaque grounds. It would be hard to find more beautiful surroundings anywhere to create a shopping experience like no other.
Originally conceived as an artist community, Tlaquepaque is a perfect setting to witness gifted artisans absorbed in their work. It's not uncommon to venture upon a well-known sculptor working on his or her latest piece right in one of the Tlaquepaque galleries. With over 40 specialty shops and exclusive art galleries, shopping becomes a joyful revelation of fabulous art treasures and distinctive gifts around every corner. Tlaquepaque is filled with spectacular one-of-a kind art expressions in every medium from Western and eclectic bronze sculpture, functional and traditional ceramics, breathtaking blown glass creations, contemporary and Southwestern fine art paintings, weavings, decorative arts, architectural décor pieces and stunning large format photography. Fine contemporary jewelry, designer casual wear in silks, and leathers and unusual gift items all await the Tlaquepaque visitor.
Just walking around Tlaquepaque is an adventure in discovery. Your senses will be delighted with the splashing sounds from a courtyard fountain and mouth-watering aromas wafting from a nearby restaurant as sumptuous feasts are prepared. Spend the day at Tlaquepaque and enjoy excellent Mexican cuisine, fine French dining, and an on-site brewery and wonderful lunches in an intimate garden setting. Every palate will be satisfied at Tlaquepaque's four exceptional restaurants.
As far as the eye can see bursts of vibrant-colored flowers are everywhere, and if your timing is just right, you may hear the peal of the Chapel bells in joyful celebration of another Tlaquepaque wedding. Be sure to visit the Chapel, which holds a very special place in the Tlaquepaque Village. Stained glass windows and hand-carved leather pews, a stunning mural over the altar, and white-washed adobe walls evoke what it must have been like to be married in a quaint Mexican village long ago. Wedding ceremonies at the Chapel are performed throughout the seasons. Tlaquepaque's spacious la Sala de los Milagros room and numerous patio venues are also available for intimate gatherings or receptions.
Today, Tlaquepaque is a place that visitors return to again and again - to look and wander, to sample and buy, to eat, drink and refresh body and soul.

Slide Rock State Park

Hotels Close to Slide Rock State Park
Slide Rock State Park is a state park located in Oak Creek Canyon in north central Arizona, seven miles (11 km) north of Sedona. It takes its name from a natural water slide, formed by the slippery bed of Oak Creek. The park is located on Coconino National Forest land and is co-managed by the Arizona State Parks agency and the U.S. Forest Service. Tall red rock formations that are typical of the region also surround the park, which contains a 43 acre working apple farm.
The land was first developed by Frank L. Pendley, who arrived in the canyon in 1907 and acquired title to the land under the Homestead Act in 1910. Pendley developed an irrigation system (which is still in use today) and planted an apple orchard in 1912. The state completed a road through the canyon in 1914, and Pendley built rustic tourist cabins in 1933 that in part survive today. Several films were shot in the area: Angel and the Badman (1946), Broken Arrow (1950), Drum Beat (1954), and Gun Fury (1953).
The park was purchased by Arizona State Parks from the Arizona Parklands Foundation on July 10, 1985, and dedicated as Slide Rock State Park in October 1987. The Pendley Homestead Historic District was accepted onto the National Register of Historic Places on December 23, 1991. The apple farm is one of the few homesteads still preserved in Oak Creek Canyon.
There are three hiking trails in Slide Rock State Park: Pendley Homestead Trail (.25 miles), Slide Rock Route (.3 miles), and Clifftop Nature Trail (.25).
Slide Rock State Park attracted 254,584 visitors in 2005 and is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Arizona.

George Phippen, first President of the Cowboy Artists of America, died in 1966, leaving behind a group of artists interested in creating a facility that specifically represented artists in the American West. In 1974, the George Phippen Memorial Foundation was formed to create a centralized venue that would fully support Western Art. With the assistance of a dedicated core of volunteers, the George Phippen Memorial Foundation began organizing fundraisers for the creation of their museum.
The first annual Memorial Day Show was presented at the Prescott Public Library in 1974, featuring the finest of western sculptors and painters. For ten years, this show was the only financial means of the Foundation.
In the early 80s the James Family Trust donated a parcel of land to the Foundation to begin the construction of the building for the future Phippen Museum. With the funds from the Memorial Day Shows and this generous gift, the Phippen Museum was able to open its doors to the public on October 13, 1984.

The Highlands Center for Natural History is an environmental education organization, which features quality outdoor science education, reaching over 10,000 children and adults each year.
Their mission: The Highlands Center helps children and adults discover the wonders of nature and become wise caretakers of the land. They believe that everyone has a fundamental need to connect with the natural world. This connection is fostered by the Center through outdoor-science education based on observation and discovery of the Central Arizona Highlands.
The Central Arizona Highlands, a unique biological and geological transition zone, lies between the lush Sonoran Desert and the vast Colorado plateau of Arizona. Our new Lynx Creek Site is an 80-acre microcosm of this special region. As our outdoor classroom, it is integrated into learning programs for all ages. In keeping with our mission of being wise caretakers of the land, the constructed campus area on our new site showcases practical green building strategies, fire-wise living, water conservation, and environmental landscaping/site revegetation.
We’ve established a sound reputation for quality and balance among the educators of Yavapai County and northern Arizona. Our year-round youth programs serve five school districts in Yavapai County, charter schools, private schools, and home-schooled children. Each year we have experienced dramatic program growth; programs fill quickly and often have a waiting list.
The Highlands Center offers extensive family programs, after-school programs, and week-long summer day camps. We provide field studies, lectures, workshops, and other activities to broaden the adult community’s understanding of natural history in the Central Arizona Highlands.
Originally called the Community Nature Center that hosted programs using a 20-acre natural site on school grounds, the Highlands Center for Natural History has served the residents of Central Arizona for nearly three decades. When the Highlands Center was incorporated in 1996, it took over the duties and financial responsibilities of the original organization. Since that time the Center has seen steady growth in community support – in donations, members, and volunteers.
