Sedona feels like nature said: Now I\u2019m going to do something spectacular<\/em> \u2014 and started painting the world in reds, oranges, and dusty pinks.And we decided to see it all on bikes.<\/strong>Not riding over the rocks (relax!), but cycling as close as possible to the trailheads<\/strong>, then finishing the rest on foot \u2014 the perfect duet of two wheels and our own legs. <\/p>\n\n

Sedona on two wheels and our own legs \ud83d\udeb4\u200d\u2640\ufe0f\ud83d\udc5f<\/h2>\n\n

The red walls rose in front of us like a movie set.And as we pedaled across the rust-colored earth, we felt like the heroes of a tiny Western \u2014 just the bike edition.<\/p>\n\n

Sedona\u2019s cacti \u2014 the true stars of the desert stage \ud83c\udf35\u2728<\/h2>\n\n

If there\u2019s anywhere in the world where cacti carry true superstar energy, it\u2019s right here.They rise like guardians of the desert \u2014 tall, wide-armed, wearing that look that says touch me and you\u2019ll remember it.<\/p>\n\n

Saguaro \u2014 Arizona\u2019s patient giant<\/h3>\n\n

The most magical moments were when, right next to a massive, armed-to-the-teeth Saguaro, a tiny cactus was growing quietly, covered in blooms like it had stepped out of a gardening catalog.These kinds of contrasts? Only in Sedona.Some cacti here are older than most modern cities \u2014 a Saguaro in Arizona can live up to 150\u2013200 years.<\/strong>And for the first 10 years<\/strong> it grows\u2026 about 3 centimeters.<\/strong>Slowly. Very slowly. Like paperwork moving through a government office \ud83d\ude04<\/p>\n\n
