Learn from two experts in Veterinary Surgery and Ophthalmology and expand your knowledge in Sedona. Sedona is a true oasis, a vacationer’s paradise in the middle of the Arizona desert. Here, you’ll find resorts and spas, canyons and red rock formations. Bell Rock and Oak Creek Canyon are great hiking spots, and the dramatic architecture of the Chapel of the Holy Cross is a religious experience itself. When the sun dips down below the horizon it introduces the best show in Sedona: the night sky.
Havasu Falls is famed for its vivid blue-green water contrasted against the red rocks of the Grand Canyon. Located within the Havasupai tribal lands, this waterfall requires a bit of effort to reach, including a 10-mile trek from the nearest road. However, the sight of the 100-foot falls and the ability to swim in its warm, mineral-rich pools make it an unforgettable experience.
