Of course, there’s the Grand Canyon. But this world famous and extraordinary landscape isn’t the only wonder of Arizona. Between the mesas of Sedona, the ancient craters and lava flows of Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument or the ruins of Sinagua Indians villages, there’s so much to see in the area around Flagstaff, in the heart of the State! And for pictures of Monument Valley and Antelope Canyon further North, visit my other gallery by following this link.
🇫🇷 Bien sûr, il y a le Grand Canyon. Mais cet endroit extraordinaire n’est pas la seule merveille en Arizona. Entre les mesas de Sedona, les anciens cratères et les coulées de lave du Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument ou les ruines de villages Indiens Sinagua, il y a énormément de choses à voir dans la région de Flagstaff, au coeur de l’Etat ! Pour découvrir Monument Valley et Antelope Valley plus au nord, allez voir mon autre galerie d’images ici.
