Sedona Arizona over the 4th of july

I am staying in Sedona, Arizona for three days over the July 4th
weekend. I have never been there before, but am excited to go. Any
thoughts or ideas on where to go for can't miss shots? Where is the
best spot for getting a magnificent sunrise and sunset. Where to go for
good shots during the day. I have a car and am not limited to Sedona,
but am willing to go to the surrounding area. I do want to stay within
the Sedona vicinity, but would like to do some hiking.

Any thoughts?

Slide rock is a must, as is the Native American jewelry market at the top of
the canyon.

Maybe try the road to the airport, this plateau overlooks the red rocks and a
lot of people like to shoot there. For sunset maybe Red Rock Crossing for the
cliche shot of the stream with the famous rock formation behind it. For
mid-day maybe some of the better Indian ruins in the canyons south-west of town
a few miles.

The bookstores downtown have excellent guides to all these places. Can't help
much myself, I always preferred driving another two hours north to the big
ditch and hiking or shooting there

Haven't been there since I moved back to England from Phoenix in 1998, but
the places that spring to mind are :-

Chapel of the Holy Cross
Cathedral Rock/Red Rock Crossing
Schnebly Hill Road
Pretty much anywhere along Oak Creek Canyon
views from Airport Mesa
Boynton Canyon

Further afield:
Montezuma's Castle N.M.
Arcosanti
Jerome
Tuzigoot N.M.
Verde Canyon Railroad
Historic buildings in Prescott

Thanka, Bill. You helped out a lot when I asked for information about
photography the Grand Canyon a couple of years ago. Now that I have
moved to Arizona, I am able to get a few more photographs in.
