It's hard to imagine ever getting tired of trekking around Sedona. I really should have been driving "down the hill" at least once a month last winter for this. Oh right, that pinched nerve thing.
Making up for lost time with a tour around the airport in early March:
The start of desert spring bloomings:
I just happened upon this beautiful overlook in a saddle near the road to the airport - it's funny how you never know what kind of amazing view you'll find around the next corner:
Standing in one spot you can see in all directions. Highly recommend:
Enjoying the day:
A less-traveled trail, out and back to a quieter overlook:
Admiring the butte beauties:
On another weekend we met up with our friends Taylor, Andrew, and Basil The Dog to climb Bear Mountain. We set an early gathering time, which was lucky because we were treated to views of hot air balloons in the distance as we were driving there from Cottonwood.
And then they kept getting larger as we drove toward the trailhead, eventually passing slowly by the parking lot where we got out - super good timing!
Bear Mountain in the sunshine across the way:
First we had to spend a few minutes marveling at the balloons and our good luck:
OK, we need to get moving, let's go climb a mountain in a beautiful place:
Basil says "Let's go!"
Views for miles:
Hey, it's the San Francisco Peaks on the horizon:
Thank you for another wonderful day, Sedona and friends!
