The Seven Sacred Pools in Sedona are found along the Soldiers Pass Trail.
After a rainfall, the pools can be quiet stunning with water flowing from one to the next down the slickrock formation before these red rock towers. However, when the area is dry, as it was during my visit, the pools merely provide a textured foreground for an image of the surrounding area. Despite the threatening clouds overhead, the day remained dry and the clouds cleared out mid-day.

I've been to some beautiful places, but I must say that I was completely stunned at how consistently beautiful Sedona is.
Despite the fact that the city is built within these amazing geologic formations, and the area can become crowded with tourists, the natural beauty is pristine, the colors otherworldly, and the access unsurpassed.
If you are thinking about places to visit and Sedona isn't on your list, perhaps it's time to rethink your list.

Mingus Mountain 30 miles away blocks light from the setting sun on most of Sedona. Coffee Pot Rock's sandstone glows in the light for just a few minutes during sunset.

the spotlight is on coffeepot rock, sedona, arizona. within a couple of hours of this shot, marble sized hail fell in sedona, and tornados touched down about 50 miles away.
Precipitation has been good this winter, resulting in some very wet conditions in many areas of Arizona. Benefits from the precipitation include opportunities to capture scenes in different ways, with interesting compositions. One example here, features rainwater flowing through Soldiers Pass, filling the Seven Sacred Pools, beneath Coffee Pot Rock.
Shot from my backyard on HWY 89A in Les Springs (a gated community) but you can get the same shot from the parking lot across the street from Les Springs.
Mid-day shadows cast upon Coffee Pot Rock.. an iconic red rock formation in Sedona, Arizona. It overlooks West Sedona, and is part of the Thunder Mountain red rock complex.
Coffee Pot Rock is a familiar red rock formation in Sedona, Arizona, and when viewed from State Route 89A in West Sedona, it resembles a big coffee pot. It overlooks West Sedona and is part of the Thunder Mountain red rock formation, ending at Soldier's Pass.
This view is from the Sedona Airport, Arizona. Coffee Pot Rock dominates the light on the left side of the photo. Sugarloaf Rock is the round mound to left of Coffee Pot. Soldier pass Trail goes 4.5 miles down the Canyon. The large light-colored rock on the right is Thunder Mountain. The sun is setting over Mingus Mountain 30 miles away casting a shadow over most of the land.
This panorama shows just a few of the red rock formations in Sedona, Arizona...Thunder Mountain(left), Coffee Pot Rock(far right), and Sugarloaf(right foreground).
Here's some more monsoonal goodness from Sedona as a wicked late afternoon storm cell moved into the area yesterday. Soon after this shot I was running for cover!
I had to lay flat on my belly to capture this reflection of Coffee Pot Rock and its red rock friends at Sedona's Seven Sacred Pools.
This was pre-dawn glow after the first major snowstorm of the year exiting the Sedona area almost a week ago. The storm left a wonderful coating of white stuff both on the trees and red rocks. Thunder Mountain and Coffee Pot Rock are pictured here.
I found this beautiful ocotillo while on a hike last week. My first instinct was to come back at sunset, but photopills told me the sun would rise behind the spout of Coffee Pot Rock. For once an app was right!
I caught this beautiful sunrise over Sedona's Seven Sacred Pools over the weekend. These pools are sandstone potholes found within a normally dry wash. With each successive flash flood they gather water. Since they are relatively deep, they hold this water long after the wash has dried up.
Turned away from the hike we wanted to do (limited parking in a residential area and it was FULL), we picked something we could get into. Turned out to be longer and nicer than we expected.

Early morning view of Coffee Pot Rock reflected in one of the Seven Sacred Pools in Sedona, Arizona.
Cheers!

Here is one of Sedona's Seven Sacred Pools during a flash flood from all the rain and snowmelt we experienced a few days back. Normally these pools are placid, reflecting subjects...but not on this morning!
The city of Sedona, AZ, has a distinctive skyline — it is literally awe-inspiring. Very few other urban locations in the world can match the view of the Sedona horizon. It never fails to take your breath away.
Enjoying the beautiful view from the Sedona airport scenic loop as the first rays of sun illuminate Coffee Pot Rock.
I noticed storm clouds starting to billow down from Flagstaff yesterday afternoon so I headed out to Sugarloaf Butte and hoped for interesting light. Once on top of the butte I saw a thin line of clear sky on the western horizon and eagerly waited for the spectacular to happen over Coffee Pot Rock. I wasn't disappointed! I've purposely gone for a little darker treatment with this (which actually is pretty close to the way it was) so it's best viewed full size on black.
Well, as predicted, the second winter storm in a span of a week hit the Sedona area. This latest storm hit during the overnight hours so it was cool to wake up to a blanket of white on the red rocks and desert vegetation. Unfortunately, Mother Nature forgot to turn on the lights until mid morning so it was difficult shooting. The light went from flat to retina burning in a very quick period of time! This shot of Coffee Pot Rock is probably my favorite of the morning.
