| no partners | | I've hiked this trail 3 times. It was where I did my first solo overnight. This is actually a great trail to choose if you are taking beginners on their first backpacking trip, as the trail is easy and has rewarding views right from the beginning. However, do not bring beginners here during a rainstorm. Why? Take a look at my pictures.
I chose this hike as an easy overnighter to do with my father. Unfortunately we arrived in Sedona on the tail end of a rainstorm. There were several 'dry' washes that now required wading through fast ankle deep water. That was not too difficult, but there was one wash in particular, about a mile in, that was thigh deep and swift. We both made across ok and hiked on. The many waterfalls cascading down the red rock made for fantastic scenery. When we got to the point where the trail drops into Secret Canyon proper, the creek in the canyon was very fast, deep and intimidating, so we set up camp right there. It was a good trip, but not for beginners. Be careful and have fun. |
