Time to Hike

The morning of March 23, 2005.

Everyone decides to go their own way. I find a trail mentioned in a hotel Sedona book just 2 miles away on Schnebly Road.  There were several trail heads. I think I started on the Huckaby trail but later veered off on minor branch and started climbing the toward the ridge. I hiked about 2.5 hours total and turned back when I started to lose the trail. It was quite chilly when I started. I had my flannel shirt, mountain jacket, furry cap, hood and gloves on most of the way.

First Sedona view point, our hotel is directly beneath the O
in the word Orchard, some morning sun.

This shot was dark but I didn't want to lose it so
pulled it out with some pixel manipulation.

View along the way, the trail head parking lot
is that spot in the middle.
