Maple Tree near West Fork Trail. Officially, this place is called the West Fork of Oak Creek Canyon. It’s a few miles north of Sedona, and if you catch it at the right time in a good year, it’s one of the best places in Arizona to see fall colors. Framed by the trunk of a massive ponderosa pine, this young maple set out to prove that point, and I’d say it succeeded!
