Yesterday we hiked one of the iconic hikes in Sedona, Courthouse Butte Loop Trail. The trail loops around Courthouse Butte and Bell Rock. Bell Rock is known as a powerful metaphysical “vortex” in Sedona...Sedona is known for it’s healing and special properties to create wellbeing.The trail was 4 miles, with some ups and downs equaling about 400’ elevation gain but it felt very level. Most of the hike the weather was overcast but with the sun breaking through occasionally. Even without the sun the colors experienced on this hike were exceptional. We hope to go on more of these beautiful…

So, today we drove early to the Navajo Bridge...holy cow...the condors were everywhere! The California Condor is one of the rarest birds in the world. It is the largest flying…

They named the area Mushroom Valley. In 1964 the state of Utah acquired the land and renamed the area, Goblin Valley State Park!We were amazed when we saw the valley; the shapes are truly spooky! The park allows visitors to hike among the goblins in the valley and…

The beauty of the last few days is unimaginable. We have made a base at Green River State Park. Thursday we spent at Arches NP, Canyonlands NP and Dead Horse Point SP. Arches is amazing and photos just can’t capture the vast size and colors of the landscape! We had high hopes to hike to “Delicate Arch” but it was so crowded, COVID-19 precaution won and we passed. Many of the Arches are named by the park service or others, but we created some pretty unique names “old lady in chaise lounge”, “turtles kissing” and some that I better not…
