Hiking Oak Creek

     North of Sedona is Oak Creek Canyon.  We went up the canyon to the west fork of the creek to go hiking.  This is Susan's favorite place to hike.  We were never lonf without meeting other hikers.

     At the beginning of the hike is an apple orchard and the ruins of a homestead house.  I am still not sure who the home belonged to; one family or various families.

      Then we hiked the creek canyon.

This tree had toppled over from its place high on th cliff rocks.  I liked how the tree fell and the roots were at the top.

This couple would stop every so often and play native flutes.  The man was part Cherokee.  The music went up the canyon and made for a nice hike.

I love this bark.  It looks melted.




awesome tree roots

We hiked for about three hours.  It was a wonderful day!
