I was in Sedona last week for a family wedding / vacation. I thought the same thing; it is beautiful but terrible at the same time. I hiked the Huckabee trail with my wife and at one point there is an excellent view of the development in town. It made me wish I could have been there 100 years ago.

Of course that does require actually getting out of your car to appreciate.
Kdog, they won't let me rep you again but you nailed it here. Thanks!!!!!
