 Secret Sedona June 24, 2008
This is an amazing work, which draws you into the mystiques of our past and makes us seem so inconsequential in the greater scheme of lives gone by.

I have lived in Northern Arizona for most of my life and visit Sedona often. This book, with its wonderful images and text, make the reader feel like they are in Sedona. As a photographer I find the images outstanding and the messages in the text inviting.
A Rare Treat of Reverence and Delight May 23, 2008

Elegant and unique - the best of it's kind! This book is one that I enjoy over and over again, enriched each time by the authors' reverent vision and writings about this sacred and profoundly beautiful landscape.
The new edition's 22 Hikes are described and well organized (i.e. Easy Hikes, Hikes along Water, Hikes to Arches, Hikes into Canyons, Vista Hikes and Loop Hikes) and are wonderful for all levels of ability. I keep this book out for guests and visitors to see and have given it as a gift to out-of-town guests. Lindahl's photography and writings blend the beauty of Sedona in both mystical and poetic ways. I was especially impressed with the combination of rich native historical information and journal narratives that create a sense of being in the timelessness of the place. This book gives me a new appreciation of the natural world through the author's keen attention to detail and the way his profound descriptions and relationship to the land keeps me right there with him on his deep and meditative journeys.

Fantastically Gorgeous Gift for Sedona Lovers! August 30, 2007

I love this book. My parents are long time Sedona residents, and every time I visit them I purchase a few of Lindahl's "Secret Sedona's" to take home as gifts from vacation. The photography is phenomenal, as well as the written word, which decribes Sedona in the romantic fashion it is in reality.
An easy read, with pictures worth a thousand words and beautifully laid out, I recommend this book to anyone, whether you live in Sedona, visited Sedona, or have even never been there! (It will make to want to do all of the above.) 5 Stars!!!!!
Precision and Beauty in Secret Sedona July 25, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Secret Sedona illumines, with precision and beauty, Sedona's swirled red rock country and its ethereal waters.
Larry Lindahl's photos have such depth that it's worth taking them into the sunshine, to see into the purple shadows.
The layers of his text include Lindahl's journal, cultural and natural history, plus a thorough index.
But the book isn't a travel guide. Lindahl's text invites the reader to settle in for a slow read, with supple images, riding the edge of the known and unknown in Sedona.
Here is a lasting cache of awe to enjoy, alongside, or far away from, time in Sedona.
