BEHIND THE SCENES ...   Many areas you hike have group size limits , which you need to be aware of.  All groups shown in the Virtual albums may appear to hike together, when in fact they do not.  *sorry, photographer editing illusion*  Groups are broken down into Fast-Medium-and-Slower hikers, with designated regrouping points along the way for safety purposes.  Educate yourself on the rules directly with the US Forest Service and National Park Service.  Don't assume - Get the facts first.

Coconino National Forest - Sedona Arizona
Nothing is more amazing to me than Sedona magic. This was the second day of camping and hiking before heading back home. We hiked in on the trail, but hiked back through Oak creek (yeah I mean the creek!) ... est 7 miles - and could have stayed in this canyon all day. (photos by Nunya)

Red Rock Secret Mountain Wilderness - Sedona Arizona
In this Virtual Album, Kelly is one of the many California hiking buddies to come see Sedona (the week after Denelle & David), and the Desert Trails Hiking Club will be coming to do this trail and more April 7-9th. We caught West Fork just as it was starting to freeze over, but by April it should already be lush and green again. (photos by Nunya)

No matter what time of year, West Fork Oak Creek is my all-time favorite Sedona hike. Virtual hike with us along and crossing the frozen Oak Creek (as we took Deb out on her first hike after being off 7 weeks from foot surgery), and enjoy the serene beauty of this red rock canyon 6 miles, and 400ft elevation gain.

West Fork Oak Creek is no doubt my favorite Sedona hike. Usually you hike this in-and-out the 3 miles up to the point where the canyon dead ends at the water..., but not this time Bay-Bee!! Our water shoes are on and we're taking you in with us!! Go Virtual Hike with us as we take you 3-5 miles (okay it felt like 5 miles in) into this beautiful redrock canyon and show you the Splendor that is Oak Creek in May. (photos by Nunya)

10/28/2006 Thomas Point Trail - Coconino National Forest -
Red Rock Secret Mountain Wilderness - Sedona Arizona
Thomas Point Trail #142 in Sedona, was built in 1890 by the Thomas family (owners of the West Fork Ranch), so that they could get back and forth to Flagstaff. Go Virtual Hike with us as we take you 1000ft up in 1.5 miles on the East wall of upper Oak Creek Canyon to Thomas Point (6300ft elevation), for beautiful scenic views of sheer white cliffs and rolling hills of pine.

Red Rock Secret Mountain Wilderness - Sedona Arizona
Would you cross the road for a view like this? Go Virtual Hike with us as we take you 700ft (.07 of a mile) up Harding Springs trail in Sedona (6300ft elevation), which is located directly across from Cave Springs Campground. Named after Civil War, Union General O.P. Harding, who used this trail between 1889-1910 to transport fruit he had grown to Flagstaff. (photos by Nunya)

 in the Snow
Coconino National Forest -
Red Rock Secret Mountain Wilderness - Sedona Arizona

The Superbowl had come to Phoenix, and many people were sick with the flu. The weather forecast in Sedona called for rain - but Magic is what got delivered! Go Virtual Hike with us to West Fork Oak Creek in Sedona, as snow drifted down like diamonds, huge icicles clung to Red Rock - and the snowballs flew through the air! (photos by Nunya)

Red Rock Secret mountain Wilderness - Sedona Arizona
Hiking Groups have quite a few funny sayings about kicking injured hikers to the side of the trail and letting Search and Rescue know the approximate location - or losing 5% of your group still constitutes as a successful hike - however - Go Virtual Hike with us as we prove that when the chips are down (or in this case when the bones break) - we're pretty much fulla crap, and seriously all action!

My absolute favorite hike in Sedona any time of year - and especially in the snow!  Go Virtual Hike with us to West Fork Oak Creek in Sedona Arizona, where the only thing bigger than the vortex energy - is the smiles it brings to your face just being there! (photos by Nunya)
