| no partners | | | Made a day trip up to Sedona to do some hiking, decided on Long Canyon as we hadn't been up that way before. Got to the trailhead at about 10:45am, no rain yet but cloudy skies. Started off at the Mescal trailhead (parking wasn't an issue) and linked up with the old jeep trail to Long Canyon Trail. Once we got past the end of the old jeep trail we didn't see anyone else until getting to the very end of the trail, and saw several people on our way out. Nice trail with very gradual elevation gain, no issue picking up the trail as it goes in and out of the creek several times. Not much in the way of vistas but that's not what you hike in a canyon for, instead you get towering red rock walls on either side and nice creek side vegetation. On our way out of the canyon the drizzling started to pick up, but didn't need to pull out the rain jacket. Made a little detour to Mescal Mountain Trail before turning back to our parking spot. Overall great day for a light-rain hike. |
