Last weekend we packed up our faithful Audi wagon, and hit the road to Flagstaff. We had lived in Arizona for 2 years, and had still not seen the Grand Canyon, and were feeling pretty, well pathetic. On Saturday we drove up to the canyon and did an 8 mile out-and-back on the west end of the Rim trail. Doggies you see are not allowed below the canyon rim. We had a nice hike, as most of the crowds were either on the more developed side of things, or riding the shuttle busses in lieu of getting some exercise. On Sunday, we headed back south to Sedona, to do a nice hike in Secret Canyon. Of course it was raining in Sedona, but the weather channel forecast had assured us that the worst of it would be over by 10:00. We picked up our red rocks pass at 9 when the ranger station opened, and then piloted Heidi the wagon through several miles of red mud to the trailhead.
The hike began immediately with a crossing of a rather substantial creek, swolen from the recent rains, then ascended up through a large valley to the mouth of Secret Canyon... To be continued... |
