Hey - welcome to AZ.

A couple of nice spots that you might not think about:

- Lost Dutchman State park - nice shots of the superstitions at sunset. That is a close place you can get to right outside of town.



- Watson lake near Prescott can be great on calm days, at sunset or sunrise.




- If you go to Sedona and can hike, go about 1.5 miles up the West Fork of Oak Creek and there might still be some fall color. It is a little late, but maybe.



If you go to Sedona but are not able to hike - you could try Red River Crossing - if you do not mind copying everyone else for the iconic shot of Cathedral Rock!


My color is off on this one- need to fix it...



- for shots in town, try Sunrise or Sunset at Tempe Town lake,





or Botanical Gardens.





A few ideas.

Enjoy
Dave
