A Tale of Two Days

Enoch and I have hiked a number of miles over the course of the last two days. That was one of the main reasons we chose to come to Sedona--we knew the red rocks and the hiking trails would be calling our names. Early on, one of the things Enoch said that he loved about me was the fact that I really enjoyed hiking and would hike with him. Hiking was even among our first dates--which was quite the risk when you consider that a girl never looks her best after she is all sweaty and red-faced like I get after a good hike. Apparently, that didn't phase him. ;)

Anyway, yesterday we hiked in sun (although it still was a bit brisk in the air) with little snow except at the end. Enoch was hoping for more. Here's a view from the Loy Canyon trail to give you some idea of colors and formations.



Today was a different story. The trail was snowy, but beautiful. We were hiking around the west fork of Oak Creek, and actually crossed the creek several times, which was a bit of a trick when dealing with ice, snow, parts frozen over, and parts not. We've decided we will definitely come back to this trail at a different time of year. Here's me enjoying the cold but without the snow—yet!
