Sedona

We started the day out getting snowed on at our campsite in Flagstaff, so we made our way down to Sedona to get some chores done and to get some warmer weather. We got one of the tires repaired (there was a nail in it) and bought an air intake to replace our cracking one--the truck repairs continue, as per usual! We had to drive to Prescott to get the part, so we got to check it out along with Cottonwood. We now need to go back to ride the trails!

We had a geodesic dome rented for a few days in Sedona with our friends Steveo, Ute and Chad. Here's some photos of the dome and the views:

There was also a hummingbird feeder and many many hummingbirds were seen. (none with my camera, but I can likely get a photo from someone who was more on the ball)

The first couple of days were surprisingly cloudy and rainy--which really just means you get rained on for a few minutes, a few times a day.
Here's some photos from the trails:

Everywhere you look there is incredible beauty!

Here's some more photos from different trails:

I also went to the Devil's Kitchen sinkhole:




And here's an agave plant:

Can you spot the agave?

Once the agave plant blooms, the plant dies. Hopefully this one will have many offspring!

Since it was raining a fair bit, many of the cacti were in bloom!


Prickly Pear starting to bloom

We also saw the fellow who is spending his retirement traveling in a van, riding his mountain bike--R U Nuts Adventures--at the Bike and Bean. We saw him in Spokane WA last year too.

Next blog post: Tucson!
