| no partners | | My most favorite hike in Sedona to date (have yet to hike Oak Creek).
Devils Kitchen, the largest sinkhole in the Sedona area, the Seven Sacred Pools (there were maybe 2.5 pools this day) and overall beauty made this a great hike.
I made it a loop with the Brins Mesa Trail... added less than a mile to the hike and was worth it:

| no partners | | Finding the Grape Vine Road turn off is 'easy' (heading west from I-17) if you follow mile markers....if you pass mile marker 274 you missed the turn by 200 feet... south side of 69. Look for the 'Do Not Enter' sign on the south side of the road. Grape Vine Road is 100 feet east from this sign (see photo):
Only high clearance 4x4 vehicles can get to the trailhead....also, expect "Arizona Pinstripes" (scratched paint)... It's a rough road.... Kinda fun if you have a jeep or something similar.
Again: The last 1.5 mile drive to the "trail head" is only possible if you have both a high-clearance and 4X4 vehicle. No exceptions. Your paint job won't quite be the same afterwards either:
The trail itself is pleasant and not well-traveled . Hikers will need bug spray.

| no partners | | First time doing this hike... this trail doesn't appear to end with the typical 'hike to the top and you're done'...
The 'Little Granite Mountain Loop' was much more scenic. |

| no partners | | This Mother's Day hike was a bit more challenging than I anticipated... could see smoke from the forest fires just to the south. Was going to try to loop it back but I was done going up.  |

| no partners | | Started this loop at the Iron Springs Road trailhead and took the loop counter-clockwise. This was my first significant Prescott hike since moving here.
Very impressive hike. Very beautiful granite rock gardens. Vistas were outstanding. |
