Maine or Bust 2022: With a little help from our friends – Week 2

Friends Kathy and Doug joined us for three days, helping us kickoff our two-week stay near Sedona, Arizona. A 5 1/2- mile hike up the Brins Mesa Trail and down Soldiers Pass Trail got us a closeup view of some of the gorgeous red cliffs and rocks that Sedona is famous for.

The Brins Mesa Trail rises 500 feet up to a mesa where hikers enjoy a view overlooking Mormon Canyon and Soldiers Pass.
We wrapped up our visit with Kathy and Doug with a birthday celebration dinner at The Tavern Grille in nearby Cottonwood, Arizona.

On our own and looking to avoid the crowds, Reg and I drove a few miles south in search of the Copper Canyon trailhead outside of Camp Verde. We were pleasantly surprised with the 3.9-mile hike. Believe it or not, sometimes it’s nice to escape all that beautiful red rock.

So, on this rainy afternoon, week 2 is winding down. We expect to explore more of the dusty Sedona trails as week 3 unfolds. Check back and I’ll let you know what we discover.
