  • Sedona and the Grand Canyon Hiking Arizona’S Best!
    Sedona and the Grand Canyon Hiking Arizona’s Best! Saturday, March 19 - Sunday, March 27, 2022 (trip #2222) The desert, when the sun comes up. I couldn't tell where heaven stopped and the Earth began. -Tom Hanks Overview Join us for five days of hiking in the Red Rock Country of Sedona, Arizona ending with two spectacular days in the Grand Canyon. March is the perfect time to visit the desert, with its spring flowers amidst the stunning landscape, deep canyons, soaring mesas and gentle streams. This is an area of serene and breathtaking beauty with many wonderful and accessible trails. During our hikes, we will have beautiful views of vivid red sandstone, towering pinnacles, sheer canyon walls and massive red-rock formations. This is also the land of contrasts with lush, thick vegetation along flowing streams, such as at the mouth of the spectacular Oak Creek Canyon alongside the dry high desert. While in Sedona we will visit The Palatki Heritage site. “Palatki,” the Hopi word for “red house,” has a set of ancient cliff dwellings in the red sandstone cliffs, built from 1100 to 1400 CE by the Sinagua people of the Ancestral Puebloans. These people left behind enduring rock art as well as ruins of their pueblos and cliff dwellings. If you read about Sedona, you will discover it has long been regarded as a place both sacred and powerful. People travel from all across the globe to experience the mysterious cosmic forces said to emanate from the red rocks - the vortexes. Sedona vortexes are thought to be swirling centers of energy conducive to healing, meditation and self-exploration.
