Recently, we were in Sedona, Arizona for a vacation. Just one of those get away vacations, no obligations, and no major plans. One of the activities we ended up doing was some of the hikes around Sedona. The first step was getting a Red Rocks pass for the car. This let us park on National Park land which surrounds Sedona. We got one for a week.
The first hike was an easy one called Marg's Draw because it goes across Marg's Draw which is an area that could fill with water during a thunderstorm. Easy means no scrambling and just grab the sunscreen and water. We aren't sure we did the whole 2 miles out and back because the trail connects with others. I am sure we did 3 miles based on time.
The wildlife consisted of birds, lizards, and a horned toad. I got a good picture of the horned toad. Rudy walked right past it, so I also get credit for spotting it. Turns out whoever is in front gets to see lots of lizards and the other person sees one about every 10 to 15 minutes. The birds were some sort of finch and a type of blue jay. Neither looks quite like what is in Colorado.
We were a little silly and started the hike around 10 am which meant it was getting hot by the time we got back to the car. I think it got up to about 92 in Sedona that day.
