Let's Ride

While fans of Taylor Sheridan's "Yellowstone" will have to wait until November 2024 for the final episodes of the television series, did you know that you can travel from Flagstaff to Yellowstone National Park without ever leaving US 89?

Oh, the photo? Yes, that’s recognizable actor Forrie J. Smith, who plays grizzled ranch hand Lloyd Pierce in the TV show “Yellowstone,” posing with a member of one of our maintenance crews in northern Arizona a few winters ago.

That’s right, we’re using this photo of a beloved character in a TV show that has the same name as America's first national park to share a brief history lesson of US 89, which is sometimes called the “National Parks Highway” because it travels through seven national parks and 14 other national parks are easily reachable. We certainly strive to make connections here on the ADOT Blog.

US 89’s southern end begins in Flagstaff and goes north in Arizona to Page where it travels across the Glen Canyon Dam Bridge over the Colorado River before entering Utah. From there, US 89 continues north into southeast Idaho and slips into western Wyoming – this is where US 89 enters Yellowstone National Park – before crossing through Montana and terminating at the U.S.-Canada border near Babb, Mont. National Geographic Traveler named US 89 one of its Top 10 Drivers’ Drives in the world in 2010.

Today, from Flagstaff to its terminus at the US-Canada border, US 89 travels 1,215 miles. When US 89 was built, it originally ran border-to-border from Mexico to Canada.

When interstates 19, 10 and 17 were constructed in Arizona, they took over US 89’s function as a north-south connector and Flagstaff became the southern terminus of the federal highway.

Who has been here?

Havasu Creek In Arizona, USA

01/11/2023

Sedona Schnebly (born Sedona Arabella Miller February 24, 1877 – November 13, 1950) was an early pioneer in the Oak Creek area of Arizona. She was the namesake of the town of Sedona, Arizona. She helped in the establishment of the family farm and general store in the town. She also served as the town's bible school teacher. Sedona saved funds to build the Wayside Chapel. Among her legacy is a sculpture of a statue in her likeness by the Sedona Red Rocks Arts Council honouring her memory.

𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬

Sedona was born in the town of Gorin, Missouri (later renamed South Gorin, Missouri), to Philip and Amanda Miller. Her mother made up the name of Sedona; however, the child was known as "Dona", a name which those close to her called her throughout her life.

She attended the Gorin Academy where she received a formal education including languages and learned to play the piano. After she graduated Sedona taught briefly. When she was 20 years old she met Theodore Carleton (T.C.) Schnebly is an enterprising young man who owns a hardware store in town with his brothers. They fell in love, however, her parents objected to their relationship for religious reasons. The Millers were Methodist and Theodore Carleton Schnebly was a Presbyterian.

𝐀𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐚

T.C. Schnebly's brother, Ellsworth, had previously moved to the Oak Creek region of Arizona for health reasons upon the recommendation of his medical doctor. Ellsworth wrote to the Schneblys encouraging them to move to Arizona which had plenty of land with deep grass, crystal clear air and lots of game and fish. Convinced by Ellsworth, the Schneblys told Sedona's parents about their plans to move to the West (Arizona). Sedona's parents did not approve of their plans and this eventually caused a rift in the families' relations.

T.C. arrived in Oak Creek, which was called the red rock country, before the rest of the family. Together with other pioneer families, he blasted out irrigation routes and moved the water through ditches, flumes and pipelines. He purchased 80 from Frank Owenby, who had homesteaded the land, with an orchard in the area known as Camp Garden, which was along Oak Creek. He began to haul his produce goods to the City of Flagstaff where he sold them and then he would return to his farm in Oak Creek with goods from that city.

T.C. sent for his wife Sedona and their two children. She boarded a train with her children and belongings that was headed to the mining town of Jerome. T.C. was waiting in Jerome for his family to arrive and when they did he put his family and family possessions on a wagon and headed towards Oak Creek. They all arrived at their new home on October 12, 1901. They built a two-story house and established a small store where they sold their goods to the local residents. The Schneblys hired road crews to build what is now known as Schnebly Hill Road. This road provided a much better way to take their crops to Flagstaff.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐒𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐚 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞

Their large house served as a residence for visitors. The guests never paid more than $1 a day for room and board. Tubercular guests were considered contagious and so were placed in tent houses on the property. Not only did Sedona cook for everyone and tend to her children, but she also helped on the farm, made soap, and canned fruits and vegetables.

The Schneblys believed that the fast-growing community needed a post office. T.C. wanted to be the area's first postmaster and so wrote to the Postmaster General in Washington, D.C., suggesting "Oak Creek Crossing" and "Schnebly Station" as town names. Both were rejected as too long. Ellsworth, Theodore's brother, suggested that he submit "Sedona" as the name. On June 26, 1902, that name was approved.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐞𝐛𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐝𝐲

On June 12, 1905, Sedona's five-year-old daughter Pearl was killed when she became tangled in the reins of her pony and she was trampled to death. They buried their daughter in their front yard and Sedona became very depressed. The Schneblys returned to Missouri in an effort to improve Sedona's health.

Sedona's husband eventually decided that he would like to return to farming and the family moved to Boyero, Colorado. Their economic situation was a difficult one and T.C.'s health worsened. His medical doctor recommended that he should return to Arizona for health reasons and they did.

𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐚

In 1930, they moved to Phoenix and that same year returned to Sedona. There was nothing left of their homestead and they had no other choice than to rent a small one-room house on Jordan Road. T.C. helped Walter Jordan around the orchards and property. Sedona helped Ruth with the cleaning cooking and care of the Jordans' three children. She also washed and ironed Civilian Conservation Corps boys' uniforms for 10 cents per shirt.

Sedona Schnebly taught the Bible at the American Sunday School and saved money to fund the building of a religious chapel. In 1950, the Wayside Chapel just off Highway 89A was completed and dedicated to Sedona Schnebly. Sedona was suffering from cancer and on November 13, 1950, she died. Her husband T.C. outlived her by almost four years, dying on March 13, 1954. Both Sedona and T.C. are buried in Cooks Cedar Glade Cemetery off Airport Road. The remains of their daughter Pearl were also moved to Cooks Cedar Glade Cemetery.
