Skip Sedona. It's overcrowded right now from sno-birds trying to squeeze a few extra days after pretending to register as bidders for the BJCCA. You want red rocks...take a detour briefly into Petrified Forest NP, then get back on track to Kingman and the OKC Memorial, where you are allowed to publicly urinate on the statue to Timmy McVeigh and Terri Nichols.
