Sedona
Through the years I have hiked every trail in Sedona. Starting back to the early 90’s it was always a rejuvenating experience. Many things here have changed over the years, most of all the number of people who visit. Increased tourism and traffic have changed the area forever.
But you can’t change the beauty of Red Rock Country. You can still get away from the tourists if you enjoy hiking. This is why I like Sedona so much. The hiking hasn’t changed but now there are some great restaurants and cafe’s to relax in after a great day of hiking.
One of my favorite times to visit is early spring. I recall one trip in early spring, I arrived with overcast skies, cold and the threat of rain/snow mix. Sure enough that evening rain turned to snow. I was not happy because I had planned a late afternoon hike to watch the sunset. I thought I would make up for it with an early morning hike to watch the sunrise. In the morning I woke early to find amazing popcorn style snow on all the branches and leaves. It was beautiful scenery.
