Day 33 - Scheurman Mountain
The run in to Sheurman Mountain provides much fodder for the Sedona Traveller submission.
Today's run-in goes past the local high school. I have no idea how they convince any kids to stay in school here. I wouldn't.
Up a steep path, and we're on the Scheurman Mountain Mesa.
Our viewpoint stop.
Yet another summit.
This is not a well known trail - yet the views are spectacular. We think the locals are trying to keep it as much a secret as possible.
The summit snack stop. For Ella - Blue Buffalo bison heartshaped treats. For Russ and Wendy - mixed nuts.
Our trail today was a bit shorter than most, so we get more relax time at the top.
Sure enough we take a short diversion on the way back down and discover this "X" marks the spot alien landing zone. We're calling out Mulder and Scully right now.
Cactus family portrait.
By a not well understood spatial principle - we are able to step right off the edge of the trail and back onto to the roadway.
Wendy takes a picture. Ellie digs a hole. So much production.
The prickly pears along this trail are enormous, and some have very unusual elongated shapes.
Trailside dangers and annoyances.
Sedona Traveller will love this one - the golden hour light is just right.
