Starting up the Sunrise Trail with Mike
Some great trails right behind Jane’s and Mike’s house. Mike and Joel took the “sunrise trail”, about a 1,000 ft. climb and 4.5 mile total walk. A beautiful day for it, and some tired feet.

The Palatki Ancient Cave Paintings
A hurried, long, dirt road drive to make it just 30-minutes before closing. but we do get a chance to hear a ranger explain some of the extraordinary hieroglyphs and petroglyphs.

There wasn’t to be the usual spectacular sunset viewed from the Sedona Airport, so we took the long ride back to Scottsdale for another beautiful dinner with Jane and Mike.
The next morning we headed for the Desert Botanical Gardens. Here’s a little video taste for you. Click on the link below. The next post will have some still pix from this amazingly beautiful place. Hope you’re having fun too!
