Sunday, June 17 (Ron)
Got up early again, just after sunrise. It is so cool to be able to get up in the morning and have a beautiful, clear, blue sky; very comfortable temperature; and a quiet, peaceful setting. I sat out on the deck and read for a bit after taking a quick walk. Pat joined me on the deck and we enjoyed the wonderful morning together.
After breakfast on the deck we got loaded up and drove north of town for a hike before it got too hot. A few miles up Dry Creek Road was a park in Boynton Canyon. Looks like an easy hike with beautiful scenery. We took the Boynton Canyon Trail and after hiking a ways along the bottom of the canyon we came to a ‘Y’. We could follow along Boynton Canyon Trail or turn off onto Vista Trail. Vista Trail – I imagined beautiful vistas, looking across the valley for miles. We could stay on the nice level trail or take the one going uphill with promises of spectacular views at the end. I convinced Pat that we should take the scenic route and we started climbing. It was a little strenuous, not bad, but we worked up a pretty good sweat.
We made it to the top and had a pretty good view across the canyon. Took some pictures and just sat on a rock and enjoyed the moment. Along the trail were century plants, lots of prickly pear cactus, juniper trees, yucca, agave, and others. Very cool.
Back to the resort for a little R & R at the pool. Some friends that live in the area met us for dinner. We went to the Javelina Cantina and had a great meal with wonderful conversation. A very enjoyable evening to end another beautiful day in Sedona.
