Hiking in Sedona

We went for a few hikes while in Sedona. Here's a bunch of pictures most of them with comments. There are a lot of pictures so I apologize to anyone with dial-up. :)


This is Cathedral Rock. This is supposed to be one of the vortex sites.


This is one of the pictures I have of One-seed Junipers. They grow very slowly and I love the gnarly appearance.


I really like this one in the large size.


I still forgot to check for snakes most of the time.


This is an Arizona Cypress.





Can you spot the lizard in this picture?


Water was gushing out of the side of this little hill here. I took this picture just before the next one happened.


Yup, these are my feet after walking through the red mud from the little gusher above.


I tell ya, it's hard to keep Ichabod out of trees. Here he's standing in a sycamore.


This is a gall on one of the sycamores.


The bright green part in this tree is actually mistletoe. It's a parasitic plant, it puts its roots right into another plant and sucks out the sap. Think about that the next time you try to catch someone under the mistletoe.


Here's a picture of mistletoe in an Arizona Cypress.


Here's another lizard.



Here are some flowers, probably in the aster family.


This was from a hike where I actually had to go uphill.


But the climb was worth it. This is chimney rock, which is closer to where we were staying.


Not quite sure what this is, but I really liked it. This is one of many pictures that looks much better in the large size.


I believe the plant in the foreground is beargrass.


Here's Ichabod, blazing a trail for me.





It's hard to see the layered look of the rock in this small size. Much easier if you click on it and check out the large size.


Same with the size of this one.


Looking down on residential West Sedona.




As always, if you have time to click on them and choose All Sizes, they look better in the large size.
