Through Sedona, the Oak Creek Valley and on to the Grand Canyon

Red rocks of Sedona. What a great hiking area!

On the trails at Sedona

Here we are on the Slim Shady hiking trail.

Oak Creek Valley road winding down the mountains.

Mt. Humphrey just outside Flagstaff.

Our first glimpse of the grand Canyon at Duck Rock

We saw small bands of elk grazing near the road.

The Bright Angel Trail is one of the most popular hikes in the U.S.

Hiking on the rim trail.
