This wonderful hike will take us down what are basically the upper reaches of Oak Creek Canyon. We will be hiking in the canyon bottom with no discernable trail, as such; so be prepared for a bit of boulder hopping. The hike starts out in a shallow drainage, but near the end the canyon walls are almost a thousand feet high. There will be pools of water to be skirted, but mostly we should be able to keep or feet dry; although, as in the rest of life, there are no guarantees. If it is warm enough, a swim might be in order.
We'll be running this hike one-way, utilizing a shuttle. After this hike, we can visit a local Sedona watering hole.
