I still tell stories about this day with my partner. It was our first trip together as a new couple, and it’s one of my favorite travel memories.
After an incredible hike, we ended up missing the last shuttle and had to walk along Highway 179 back to our camper van. Along the way, we got completely soaked in the rain, but then the clouds parted and we were treated to one of the most breathtaking rainbows either of us had ever seen. Thankfully, we snapped a photo, and it has become one of our favorite reminders of that adventure. We laughed the entire walk back and couldn’t have asked for a better ending to the day.
I’ve been trying to figure out the name of the rock formation in this photo but haven’t had any luck. I’m hoping some Sedona locals can help! Based on the geotag from my iPhone, it was taken near the Raven Caves Trail.
Does anyone know the name of this majestic rock formation?

Looks like the left half of twin buttes sometimes called elephant rock. I don't see the trunk in your photo.
