Halfway Picnic Area 89a!

That Halfway Picnic day use area on Highway 89a between Flagstaff and Sedona, Arizona in Oak Creek Canyon, has some of the most spectacular views....The rocky range in the background which is the part of the southern most edge of the Colorado plateau was once enveloped underneath water.  The Coconino Sandstone layer is over 270 million years old that is the same geology that exists in the Grand Canyon.  The Colorado Plateau is comprised of an area of 130,000 million square miles.
