Talahogan's rustic patio is one of the most peaceful spaces on the hilltop with wide open views of Red Rock Country's western and northern horizons.  In the shape of a Navajo hogan, the spacious eight-sided patio is built around two large juniper trees, divided into sections by weathered railroad ties, and covered with crushed granite.  The patio features a large wooden table (octagonal, of course!), a three-burner gas grill with nearby tree table for preparation/serving as well as an outdoor fireplace and roomy tree bench.  Off to the side, the five-person Sundance Caprio spa offers not only sweeping views of the red rocks but of the heavens as well, ideal for star gazing!  As an International Dark Sky Community, Sedona offers a rich night sky, one where on cloudless nights the Milky Way is not just visible but cuts a wide and naturally bright swath across the sky.  Surrounding the patio are large landscaped beds filled with colorful perennials, wild flowers and cacti, which blend seamlessly with the natural pinyon-juniper woodland beyond.  To the fragrance of the vegetation, the nearby creek and pond provide the restful sound of flowing water.
