OK maybe the first link is tangentially related - hiking is exercise! I off-loaded some more pics from the digicam, and thought I'd share.

Hike to Robber's Roost (AKA Shaman's Cave), Sedona:

Wheeling near the Verde River, Cottonwood:

I love your pictures of Sedona. I was there, I think it was 1973, and fell in love with it.

NP - my pleasure!

The hike to Robber's Roost was actually pretty short -- maybe 1/2 mi. each way. It was a little longer TO it, as we kept losing the trail.

The drive there was about 6 mile of jeep road, followed by .8 miles of off-road, but very scenic.

Now that Fall is here, and we have a new doggie, we're trying to go on more hikes. Hopefully, we'll be doing one this weekend!

Maybe Vultee Arch:

Neat - thanks for sharing!

Me too! Grrl, I can't imagine what it would be like to live near enough to that kind of place that you could just drive on over and take a hike. That must be so cool!

Of course, I live within a few hours of the Shenandoah Mountains and they are pretty cool, but not as jaw-dropping as where you live!
