Wilson Mt. North

 Today we hike to first bench of Wilson Mountain.  It is a hard hike, gaining 1300 feet in 3/4 of a mile.  The wildflowers were beautiful.

 Lunch on the way down.  There was a fire here quite a few years ago.

 The photo below is the view from the top of Wilson Mt. South trail.  That is Sedona in the valley.

Hiking on the AZ trail near Marshall Lake

We drove over to Lake Mary road today and hiked on part of the Arizona Trail.  Our original destination trail head was closed due to a previous fire.

Sedona and Flagstaff

 We are up in Sedona for a week of hiking and relaxing.

 Sunday, we can not get the dog out of the kennel so it is a good day to drive up to Flagstaff for some sightseeing.  We started out at the Lava River Cave west of Flagstaff.

 

 This is the entrance to the cave.

This is a flash photo in the cave where the floor finally leveled out.

 

After we hiked the cave we took a tour of the Riordan Mansion
