| no partners | | Sons #2 and #3 wanted to hike in Sedona. They rejected my first couple of suggestions - Bear Mountain and Wilson Mountain, but accepted a visit to the Subway Cave along the Boynton Canyon Trail.
We departed Mesa before 5am and arrived to the trailhead just past 7am. We somehow got the last spot at the trailhead and started off.
It was a little chilly at the start, but I knew it would warm up. My #3 son shed his fleece layer about 1/2 mile in. The trail is in great shape along the multi-million dollar McMansion and resort section. We came across a few groups going up and even had a few pass us going back.
When we made it to the cave, there were a couple of groups already up there. We waited for about 5 minutes and got our Insta-pics and explored the rest of the area above the canyon.
We hiked back down to the main trail and went up a little before turning back. It was an never-ending conga line as the throngs of humanity going up passed us while we were hiking down. The trailhead was a zoo and the road was loaded with cars almost all the way to the Fay Canyon trailhead.
I told my sons about the arch in Fay Canyon and we had the good forture of pulling into the trailhead lot just as someone was leaving. So, we hiked up to the arch and then came back.
On the way back, we stopped at the Belfry Brewery in Cottonwood for lunch and a few brews. A nice place.
A good day spent with my two youngest sons in an overly crowded Sedona, but still nice experience for sure. These are the days that matter. |
