Top Sedona, Arizona, Destination Web Portal Expands to the Verde Valley
The Verde Valley in Northern Arizona is now featured on the area’s most visited web site, http://www.GatewayToSedona.com, giving travel planners and tourists more choices and a new perspective on the region’s most popular attractions.
May 12, 2006 — Visitors to Gateway To Sedona can find information and photos for places such as Page Springs, Cornville, Cottonwood, Clarkdale, Jerome, and Camp Verde.
Verde Valley topics are presented in photo essay style on http://www.gatewaytosedona.com/department/category/VerdeValley. For example, feature articles about the remarkably preserved Sinagua Indian ruins, Tuzigoot National Monument, Montezuma Castle, and Montezuma Well, are complete with photos, maps, and links to more information. Photos of Oak Creek in Page Springs and the Verde River in Cottonwood give viewers a better sense of the lush greenbelt that meanders through the entire Verde Valley, with information on ways to enjoy cool summer activities by the water’s edge.
One feature article highlights Northern Arizona’s largest fish hatchery, the Page Springs Fish Hatchery, with a photo-tour of its first-rate facility and visitor center. Other areas covered include expanded information and links for birding enthusiasts and photographers.
A complete directory helps visitors locate guided tours to historic places like Old Town Cottonwood and Fort Verde in Camp Verde, and provides a selection of contacts for jeep tours, air tours, horseback riding and cowboy cookouts. A new feature section on Jerome, the famous copper mining boomtown of the 20s, presents a jaw-dropping photo view of the Verde Valley from 5,200 feet.
Audre Wenzler, a partner in Wisdom of the Earth Essential Oils in Cornville, writes, “So glad to see you have expanded to include our beautiful ‘neck of the woods’!” Terree Duncan, Jerome resident and events coordinator for Gateway To Sedona, concurs that tourism-related businesses in the Verde Valley can now be included in a way that makes sense to them.
