4 Wheelin, Devils Bridge & More!

Sunday 7/10 was a bit of a rest day. We had camped the previous 2 nights at Pine Flats in Oak Creek Canyon just above Sedona. We secured the last camp site on Friday 7/8. Everything in Oak Creek Canyon was full. Busy weekend. Sunday morning we had a great breakfast at Junipine Resort. Eggs, sausage, fruit, & buttermilk waffles hit the spot.

After breakfast we broke camp at Pine Flats & checked in to our last stop of our trip – The Canyon Wren Bed & Breakfast. What a great place. Mike & Milena are the best hosts! Brownies in the afternoon for us. Quiet, beautiful with hummingbirds everywhere. No phones, no internet, & no TV. We showered, napped & read the afternoon away.

If you are ever in Sedona, AZ this is the place to stay.

We headed out in the early evening for a 4 Wheelin excursion in our Jeep up the Schnelby Hill Road. The 5 miles to the vista overlooking Sedona took us 45 minutes of rough riding but the drive was worth it.

After a rough return drive back and a great dinner of chicken fajitas, & refreshing beverages @ Javalina Cantina in Sedona

we headed back for a great nights sleep at the Canyon Wren.

Early this morning, Mon. 7/11 we headed to the A. B. Young trail for a strenuous hike up the canyon wall. Clouds were rolling in on this cool summer morning in Oak Creek Canyon. Slide Rock Park & its orchards were visible in the distance once at the top of the canyon. Back to the Canyon Wren by 9:30 am for a great breakfast prepared by Mike & Milena. Muffins, frittata, & fresh fruit followed by lively conversation. It was a great start to the day!

Next we headed out to west Sedona for more 4 wheelin out to Devils Bridge. The 1.5 mile hike was hot with a bit of climbing but the views and the bridge was well worth it.
