Bench of the Week / Sedona, Arizona, USA...Hiking to Bell Rock

I found this bench on our hike to Bell Rock in Sedona, Arizona in late November.  As you can see, it doesn't matter which way you sit on this bench, because the view is mind boggling in all directions!

Benches of the Week / Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Memorial

We visited the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Memorial yesterday. The gardens and memorial site have many nice benches for those needed solitary moments that creep up on us. I photographed the two benches in front of the grave sites of Former President Nixon and the Former First Lady of the United States and also the benches in front of the Former President's birth home on these grounds adjacent to the memorial site.

Benches of the Week / Watch Tower, Desert View, Grand Canyon, Arizona USA

Another bench with a lovely view at the Desert View area of the Grand Canyon. It is actually perched on the outdoor viewing area of the Watch Tower there. The second bench is inside the Watch Tower at the lower level, which is actually a gift shop. I could enjoy a nice fire to warm up there! The winter winds can really whip up some chilly temps on the rim! The lower photos show the tower and a description of it. It is literally sitting right on the edge of the rim. The view from the upper levels is breathtaking!

Benches of the Week / Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA

I spent 5 days traveling in Arizona with my friend last week. We spent 2 nights (1 full day) at the Grand Canyon before we moved on to Sedona, Arizona. It was easy to find rather rustic old benches with very "over the top" lovely views! There is a train that carries visitors about 60 miles from the south rim of the canyon to the small town of Williams, Arizona. It only makes one round trip each day this time of year. Many visitors get a hotel in Williams and travel, either by car or train to the canyon.
