| no partners | | Super fun ramble through creek side forest! Dog friendly with lots of water to wade and cool off in!
The day use/parking fee is 11 dollars per car load. There are picnic tables, pit toilets and all kinds of areas to explore around the main trail. We did see a rather large rattlesnake sleeping, coiled up against the footings of a irrigation/water wheel apparatus. |

| no partners | | I would have posted a GPS track had I not been giddy with excitement over the tons of New Year's Day snow and forgot to track my hike!
First of all, when I arrived I had to backtrack about a half mile down Chavez Ranch Road to the last intersection to find a legal place to park. Everything was still snowed under and they were plowing the parking areas, so the entry gate was closed. This I did not mind as only the hardy and persistent ones were in the park  And it saved me $$$...
It was gorgeous, and just before the sun started to come out. Every tree was coated with snow, and there was about 6-8" on the ground. Just fantastic. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves!
I left when more people started to show up who looked like they were just out for a nice lunch as opposed to being in a proper outfit to hike in snow...I figured the parking lot opened, and I was right... |

| partners | | Grace and I took Gracemarie to see a little of Sedona.We started off with pics at Bell Rock.Our next stop was Sliderock State Park.State park being important because I found out my State Park pass covers the 20.00 fee.  After a few hours there we took her to see Cathedral Rock from the Cresent Moon side.It's now 9.00 bucks   to get in there.We took a few pictures(awesome views) and then went up to Jerome for lunch-dinner.From there we had a nice rainstorm until we got to New River.10 hours later we were home.Great little day trip!! |
