A View From The Top

The Brins Mesa Trail led us on a 500 foot climb.

After 1.5 miles of climbing, we reached Brins Mesa and a 360 degree view. First, we looked back at where we’d come from. That’s the town of Sedona in the distance.

Then we turned around to view the landscape well beyond our trail.

We followed the Soldiers Pass trail, dropping down to connect with the Jordan trail and then Cibola Pass, leading us back to the parking lot. Above are some of the spectacular sites we saw. Although we got an early start, the trail down was crowded enough to be just a little frustrating in spots. Our advice: Set your alarm if you have to…the earlier start, the better!

It’s so beautiful. As much as i love the mtns, there’s a different beauty to the desert that is undeniable.

  I think the clean air here brings all the colors into perfect focus. Sunset last night was incredible.
