Description
These "Mighty Fine Rocks" were found in Slide Rock State Park in northern Arizona. The Park gets its name from a natural water slide formed by the slippery bed of Oak Creek 7 miles north of Sedona. Located on Coconino National Forest land Slide Rock State Park is co-managed by the Arizona State Parks agency and the U.S. Forest Service. Tall red rock formations that are typical of the region surround the park, which contains a 43-acre working apple farm.
The land was first developed by Frank L. Pendley, who arrived in the canyon in 1907 and acquired title to the land under the Homestead Act in 1910. Pendley developed an irrigation system still in use today and planted an apple orchard in 1912. The state completed a road through the canyon in 1914. Pendley built rustic tourist cabins in 1933 that in part survive today.
Slide Rocks ROCK!
