Seven Canyons is a Sacrilege March 31, 2005, 3:15 pm

by ken weiss
I visited Rachel's Knoll, the site where Seven Canyons was carved, many, many glorious times. I sat on the cliff overlooking Long's Canyon with its numerous medicine wheels and unparalled vistas. It was the quietest, most peaceful place I had ever visited on earth, and the most sacred in the Sedona Area. Now the medicine wheels are gone, the trees are uprooted, the spectacular vistas reserved for a select few, and access to Rachel's Knoll denied to the public. I cried the last time I sat overlooking the bulldozer activity below. It is a terrible loss for all of humanity when our sacred places are ravaged and barb-wired. I love golf. I have been a fan of Tom Weiskopf since his early days in Ohio, my home state. But this is an outrage. I pray that Rachel's Knoll will persevere through these trying times. Bless you.

The land seven canyons is on used to be public access forest. Rachel's knoll was a special place used by all for meditation and peace. It was supposed to be that way in perpetuity as provided for in Rachel's will.
That is until her relatives greedily sold out to developers whose bulldozers and fences ended what was to have been a life long tradition.
How sad.

All that has happened is some smart people have taken a beautiful peice of land and turned it into a better time for families to go spend great weekends. It is still just as beautiful and not all places can be reserved to the public. Sorry
