Soak in the vortex powers as we hike for six days among the Red Rocks of Sedona! We will all meet in Phoenix and drive in our vans to Sedona, where the spectacular scenery and dramatic red rock formations and cliffs will offer an amazing experience. Nearby is Bell Rock Mountain, which we did late in the day. Nice climb.
Walk among the ruins of Palatki or possibly the ruins of Walnut Canyon and Wupatki, both a slightly different experience. We won't want to miss Montezuma's Well, a very special and relaxing place to soak our tired feet in the warm mineral water stream that comes from the well and then an easy hike down. Seems like a rinky-dinky place, but it's so unique.
We will visit Coconino National Forest and Red Rock Secret Mountain Wilderness to hike paths that meander lazily between canyon walls. Hiking a wide valley surrounded on three sides by high red cliffs is a way to describe Secret Canyon. It is split by many deep, hidden canyons, usually with a maintained footpath at least part of the way upstream.
Some other canyons for us to see are Long Canyon and Secret Mountain. Average elevation gains from 0-1000 feet with treks of 5-6 hours a day. Amongst our hikes, we will leave time for visiting the town before we head back to Phoenix to leave for home.

Hi Lynn,
Thanks so much for a great trip! I had a wonderful time. You put together a fine itinerary and I loved all that we did. Each day was different and really allowed us to experience the full spectrum of the Sedona environment. I thought the group was mostly pretty compatible. I enjoyed everyone. Whoever my companions were during the hiking days, sightseeing days or dinners, we had great conversations. You did a wonderful job. I must also say, you are a really good driver!
Wishing you fabulous Holidays ahead.
Lynn: didn't say "thanks and goodbye" properly to you in AZ. Was a great trip and I loved the hiking, scenery, dinners out, etc. Good luck in MI and with your other trips.
Thanks again for all your hard work on Sedona trip.
