Our eighth stop on our virtual tour of places of interest in the Verde Valley is the Coffee Pot Rock Formation that is located approximately four blocks off Highway 82 in the west end of Sedona Arizona. It is located on an appropriately named street Coffee Pot Rock Drive. This rock formation is located in a neighborhood near a ranch style home. I remember viewing this rock formation from a small Cessna airplane in 1982 and there were no homes anywhere near it. The rock formation is red sandstone. It stands approximately thirty feet high and fifteen to twenty feet wide. It is shaped like an old fashioned coffee pot.
After viewing the rock formation we make our way to the restaurant Coffee Pot Restaurant. This restaurant has an impressive history. It was once owned by Jane Russell the movie star. At the time that it was owned by Jane Russell it was called Dudes. It was a restaurant and nightclub. The restaurant is southwest in design. It boasts a menu of over 100 types of omelets. The new owner is not a celebrity, but the use of the name of the famous rock formation and the tie to the previous movie star fame have made the Coffee Pot Restaurant a must see on the places of interest in the Verde Valley..
