Sedona Vacation

My brother and his wife were in town before their big move and we headed up to Sedona for a few days.  We headed out through Jerome and had a great lunch and coffee.
Once in Sedona, we did a quick hike at Moon Ranch along Oak Creek.  I took a quick swim in the creek right before it dumped rain on us.  After cleaning up, we had a great dinner at Hudson.
We started the next day with coffee at Viewpoint Coffee then hit Soldier's Pass.  This is a cool short trail with plenty of obstacles.  We made stops at Seven Sacred Pools, the sinkhole and the end of the trail.  Lunch was at the airport which is very nice.  Afternoon we headed up Dry Creek Road and made stops at Devil's Bridge and Van Deren cabin.  On the way back, we gave a ride to some folks that were having a hard time hiking back in the heat.  A wonderful dinner was had at Mariposa.
The next morning, we met up at FreeForm coffee and parted ways.  Jyoti and I did Broken Arrow with stops at Submarine Rock and Chicken Point.  One final stop at the closed ranger station and a nice short drive back home.
