The Seven Sacred Pools are a group of small pools (tinajas) on the Coconino National Forest's Soldier Pass Trail, near Sedona, Arizona. They are easily accessible from the trail but are only available to be seen during certain times of the year, as the stream that feeds them is seasonal. The pools are carved into sandstone naturally.
The only McDonald's in the world with turquoise arches rather than yellow ones. Sedona's building rules require development to sit quietly against the red rock, so when the restaurant opened in April 1993 the city refused the standard yellow and the franchise built it in turquoise instead. Tour buses stop here and people climb the arches to be photographed under them.
