Between Flagstaff and Sedona, Hwy 89A passes through Oak Creek Canyon, in Coconino National Forest.  About 15 miles south of Flagstaff, Oak Creek Vista provides bird's eye views of the canyon, as well as an opportunity to shop!

 
 
In cooperation with the U.S. Forest Service, Native American artists set up displays outdoors offering for sale jewelry, pottery and other handmade items.
