| partners | | Deb and I headed north to escape the heat, looking for a relatively short hike to warm up. I suggested the Crystal Point Trail in Munds Park, a hike I'd done a portion of a while back as part of a longer trip. This time, I wanted to do the full out-and-back hike to Odell Lake.
The weather started in the 70s with scattered clouds. The climb to the peak isn't a long one, just 1.3 miles with 350 feet of gain. We passed a handful of people coming down on our way up. At the summit, Deb wasn't feeling well and said (her words, not mine), "If I continue, I may have a 'Ray or Denny moment.'"
I left her at the peak, where she read her book. The views of Sedona from up there are top-notch. It was 2.5 miles down to the lake, where I took some obligatory photos and then headed back up to gather Deb.
Next on our agenda was The Arboretum at Flagstaff. I'd passed it numerous times on the way to various hikes, and we once again used the cultural passes from the Phoenix Library for free admission. We moseyed around, checking out the different high-elevation plants. It's not Boyce Thompson, but it was still an enjoyable visit. |
