Take a Hike-December 2024
Just a few miles down 89A, watch for FR 237 making an acute angle to the left. Follow along until you reach the creek bed.
Meet Karen and her companions Bozo and Lucy
We start out through the forest and soon drop down onto compressed ancient sand dunes known as Coconino Sandstone.
The stony surface holds countless puddles covered on this chilly morning with a thin skin of ice.
Water has cut long grooves through the stone.
We reach an intersection with the choice of going right or left.
Stick with Karen and the dogs and go left.
A little surprise at a crossing.
We hike along a level, stony creek bed and up and over hillsides.
Can't resist wandering out onto that stone platform!
Sunlight soon starts to warm the canyon.
After nearly three miles, we decide it's time to turn around and head back.
I would love to see this spot when the creek is running!
Almost to the confluence!
A good time to have a snack before heading home. Watch for this scene to turn into a painting soon!
