Sedona Arizona

A few short hours from Phoenix is one of the coolest places called Sedona. When Nate and I retire we want to have a winter home in Sedona! We love it there! On our way home from Phoenix we stopped in Sedona for a hike and check out the town!

The first hike we went on we thought was a quick loop...but the more we hiked the more we realized we were on the wrong path! We kept thinking one more bend would get us closer to the end but finally we had to just turn around and go back!!
Althought it wasn't the hike we thought we were going on it still turned out to be a cool hike!

Ty and Mara found a great tree to climb!
Check out those spikes on that cactus.
We enjoyed seeing all the different cacti on the hike.
Just taking a quick break along the hike! The weather was perfect not too hot or cool!!
The scenery was fantastic!  

This little hiking boy hiked the entire time!

3 cute kiddos loving the sunshine!
After we turned around and hiked back we hiked to the top of a peak and had an excellent view of Sedona!
Me and Miss Mara enjoying the view from the top!

Maybe we will hike to the top of that peak next time!

Ty found a few rocks along the way for his rock collection!


After hiking all afternoon we walked around the town of Sedona and checked out some of the shops.

Look at those 3 handsome boys ready for another hike!
After a good night sleep we woke up early ready for one more hike!
The path we were on was the right one this time! And it was a great hike!
The kids sure like hiking with sticks! Ty can always find a good one and helps Caleb and Mara find a good one too!


The red rocks are just as fabulous here as they are in Southern Utah!
Two cute hikers...or should I say rock climbers?!
With views like this why would we want to go home?! 
If you couldn't tell Ty loves being the leader and first one on the trail! Sometimes he lets Mara take a turn!
We are almost there! Total distance of our hike: 2.6 miles! I think Caleb hiked most of it!

Destination: Submarine Rock! We made it!
The rock Caleb is standing on looks like a submarine, that's how it got it's name!
After our hike we were famished! We went to a famous BBQ place in Sedona and had some tasty BBQ sandwiches!
