Sandy’s Canyon (Flagstaff, Arizona) May 2, 2019

Exercise and exploration are typically the theme for most of our days, with today being no exception. We hiked the shockingly beautiful and local, SANDY’S CANYON TRAIL, in the COCONINO NATIONAL FOREST. The trail initially followed the canyon edge, with large boulders on one side and gorgeous sheer cliffs on the other side. The path soon took us down the canyon’s edge to the valley floor, filled with tall, majestic PONDEROSA PINES, where we crossed the narrow valley floor to the cliffs on the other side. What a beautiful site to see, stunning cliffs jutting straight upward into the crystal blue sky, with 3 groups of crazy young adults repelling the cliffs. Not for us, but it was sure fun to witness. That was certainly the gem of our day!!!!
