Wanting a low key, quiet hike, we drove the short distance and hike Woods Canyon by Oak Creak. This is a pretty mellow hike that heads up the canyon along Beaver Creek. The creek was dry except for the...
Sedona Mountain Biking

So what if we’ve ridden in Sedona one thousand times, once more can’t hurt! We picked a weekday and off we went. For real though, we first came to Sedona to mountain bike back in the late 90’s and...
Bell Trail to Wet Beaver Creek

We were a little leary because the Bell Trail to Wet Beaver Creek is listed as one of the most popular hikes in the area and I dislike lots of people around when I hike. But, we figured it...
Montezuma’s Castle and Well

Established December 8, 1906, Montezuma Castle is the third National Monument dedicated to preserving Native American culture. We visited on a weekday and it’s a quick trip through the park to view the ruins. Neither part of this monument’s...

Highline Trail, Payson

Woods Canyon Lake Hike

Woods Canyon Lake Hike is a few miles from where we are boondocking for a couple weeks up on the Mogollon Rim in Arizona. We like lakes and figured we’d hike around this one. The lake itself is fairly...
Cabin Loop, Mogollon Rim

Our spot for the next couple weeks is up on the Mogollon Rim in Arizona, east of Payson. We rode here our first year full timing but that was five years ago! The Rim is amazing with pine, fire,...
Scarecrows and Blue Ridge Hike

After a full two weeks in Pinetop, AZ it was time to move on. But first, I did an abbreviated Blue Ridge hike and we walked the Meadow Trail to see all the scarecrows. The whole Blue Ridge Loop...
