Happy Sedona Pride on the Rocks 2010 participants

The Hilton Sedona Resort and Spa, a gorgeous luxurious resort 90 minutes north of Phoenix and the gateway to Arizona’s famous and mesmerizing red-rock country is host to the third annual Sedona Pride on the Rocks festival from September 16 to 18, 2011.

The weekend-long festival will feature the Pre-Pride Party, Private Pride Pool Party and Pride Night “Gay-la” as well as other exciting events and activities.

There’s something magical, even spiritual about this part of the great, breathtaking open-sky expanse of the Southwest and in particular red rock country. Imagine celebrating gay Pride in the company of the (mostly) regional LGBT community with this as backdrop.
