| The Old Mining Town of | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Sedona, Arizona | |||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|||||||||||||||||||||
| The town of Sedona is located in the state of Arizona. The history of this town is one of its' most precious treasures. Sedona has cave dwellings of the Sinaqua Indians. Here, the tribesmen carved large caverns and caves into the limestone cliffs of Sedona's Oak Creek Canyon. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| The Sinaqua Indians consider the Sedona Mountains to be a spiritual vortex where the Earths electromagnetic engery is focused on visitors who desire to experience the spritual energy and healing powers of the Sedona mountains. Supposedly, the magnetic energy nutures the spirit and opens the heart of visitors in order for them to promote a stronger connection to their emotional and spiritual side. According to the believers, the area has many vortices and locations where one can tap into this spiritual energy. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| One of the other interesting facts about Sedona is that it was also site to one of Arizona's first mining colonies. Around the 1860's, travellers from all over the country headed to Oak Creek Canyon in search of fortunes in gold. But in the early 1940's, President Roosevelt ordered the mines to be closed down in accordance with the wishes of the Sinaqua Indians. The town of Sedona still survived despite the loss of the gold miner's income. Today, you can still visit some of the old mines in and around Sedona. |
