Our Last Day, Heading Home.
This morning we did our last hike for our trip. We headed up Sterling Pass just down Oak Creek Canyon from our B & B, The Canyon Wren. It was steep but beautiful. The pass is up a draw that was subjected to the wild-fire in the Sedona area during 2006. Large pines were black & charred but new growth was abundant. The rock formations were beautiful and worth the short but strenuous hike.
Our stay at the Canyon Wren has been exceptional. Mike & Milena have been the perfect hosts. They are great at their job. Great breakfast again of muffins, an egg casserole, fresh fruit, juice, coffee & lively conversations. We hate to leave.
It is very hard to realize that our trip out west has come to an end. We are in Phoenix airport now waiting for our flight & reflecting on the last 2 weeks. Let me just say that my bride Lisa has been incredible. She is a true Canyon Woman. Even though she tweaked her knee in the Narrows of Zion before we headed to the Grand Canyon she still went down the 7 miles, 4,300 ft with a 25lb pack and 120 degrees at the bottom. She is the love of my life and a true companion. This trip would not have been the same or nearly as much fun if we hadn’t been together doing it. This has truly been the trip of a lifetime. We have memories and stories to last a lifetime. If you have never been to AZ & UT – get here.
We are ready to head back to Franklin and the reality of work and home with a new perspective and even more passion for this great life the Father-Creator has given us! Hope you have enjoyed traveling along with us. Stay tuned. More to come!
