Sedona With Livia & Peter 2014

02/19/2014 to 02/20/2014

Our cousins came down from the frozen mid-west to catch a glimpse of sun and enjoy the beauty of Sedona..

Naturally we joined them for a couple days of hiking and fun.




Vultee Arch Hike - Sedona 02/19/2014

George & I have done Vultee Arch before and we remembered the road in as a bit rough..

Well, it has gotten rougher..

Poor Peter & Livia got bounced around like rag dolls as we traversed the rocks, gulleys and other obstacles to get to the trail head. Sorry about that. .

But the views and hike were well worth a little shaking.

Vultee Arch Hike - Sedona

Submarine Rock - Sedona 02/20/2014

This is an easy hike to a great formation with the usual beautiful scenery along the way..

OK, so I do not see a nuclear submarine in this rock but whatever. It's still a great way to spend a couple of hours.
