Cool. I didnt know that! Yea, Page Springs is nice. The drive along Page 
Springs Rd from Cornville Rd to Hwy 89A is beautiful. Lots of thick green 
tree cover along Oak Creek. Parts of Cornville is like that too. Very nice 
and cool in the shade. Most of Cornville is up above the creek and not 
really any trees or much vegetation. A great example of Page Springs is at 
the fish hatchery there. There are nature trails and such that go thru the 
trees and around the fish hatchery facilities and you can hike down by the 
creek and such. There is a virtual cache at this fish hatchery too. Worth 
checking out if anyone is coming up to Sedona. There are also two wineries 
and vineyards that are open to the public along Page Springs Rd, if you are 
into that kind of thing.

Just exit I-17 at the Rimrock/Lake Montezuma exit and head west to 
Cornville. Turn right on Page Springs rd and enjoy the drive. This will then 
take you to Sedona. It's a nice short cut to Sedona instead of exiting at 
SR179.

Do a search from GC801E (page springs fish hatchery) and you will find lots 
of fun and easy caches to do in this area along the way to Sedona. Also, on 
the east side of I-17 in Rimrock and surrounding area there are several 
caches as well. A great place to spend a day geocaching. There are also two 
national monuments in this area... Montezuma Castle and Montezuma Well.
