On April 11, 2004, Pat and
I left with our friends, Chuck and Ina, for a hiking vacation to
Sedona, AZ. We spent the week at the Quality, King's Ransom Inn and took daily trips to local hiking destinations. There are more hiking trails in the area than one could take in a dozen week long vacations. Chuck and I bicycled through this area when we did our Los Angeles to Boston bike trip, and this trip brought back many memories. On this trip we visited Jerome, Prescott, Oak Creek Canyon, Winslow, Holbrook, the Painted Desert and the Petrified Forest. We had a great lunch at the "Brown Mug" in Winslow - at least as good as we remembered. Considering the short time we had, we decided to try to hike the various terrains available in the area, including the "Red Rocks", Desert and the hardwoods of the Oak Creek Canyon. We also got to visit ancient cliff dweller ruins at Montezuma's Castle, Montezuma's Well and Palatki National Monuments. This site contains a few of the more than 100 photos I took during the trip. I usually try to refrain from taking scenery photos without people in them, but I couldn't help myself, given the beauty of this area. |
