Hike+recaps

2/5/11 - Wilson Canyon/Steamboat Rock
Today we hiked an alternate hike because of Schnebly Hill Road still being closed. We started out with a quick detour to the base of Steamboat Rock, where we heard the story of Jim Thompson, the first white settler in Oak Creek Canyon. From there, we dropped down behind Steamboat into Wilson Canyon. The canyon was lovely today, with lots of little frozen waterfalls at our feet, and towering cliffs surrounding our little hiking group.

1/28/11 - Fay Canyon
First hike of the Spring semester! It's always fun to get the group back together, and get acquainted with our newest members. Fay Canyon is one of my favorite short, easy hikes in the Sedona area. The side trip scramble up the the arch is always fun, and taking in the wonderful view of Courthouse Butte and Bell Rock framed by the canyon walls while we snack at the end of the canyon is so pleasant.
