A PORTFOLIO EDITED BY JEFF KIDA
It's hard to stand out in a state that's home to the Grand Canyon. Just ask the Chiricahuas, Monument Valley, Hannagan Meadow, Sedona and all of the "lesser" canyons — Sabino, Aravaipa, Sycamore and Oak Creek. Despite what Vince Lombardi might have said about finishing second, the runners-up in Arizona are something special. In fact, we're pretty sure that Mother Nature spends her summers in either Sedona or Oak Creek Canyon. Take a look at this month's portfolio and you'll see why.
An arching rainbow appears to shower light onto Mitten Ridge (left) and the Broken Arrow Trail area (center), east of Sedona, in a stormy-day photograph made from the trail around the city's airport mesa. Munds Mountain is in the background.
