We have spent the last 3 nights in Sedona. During our stay we have done multiple hikes:
- Slip Rock State Park - .7 miles
- Red Rock State Park - 3.02 miles
- Devils Bridge Trail - 4.5 miles
Visited Jerome Arizona which is a real ghost town. In the 1920s there was 10,000 people in Jerome due to the Billion Dollar copper mine. By 2010 the population reduced to 444. I took pictures of some of the old copper mine equipment. For my buddies at Square D check out the electrical master switch that controlled the locomotive. It looks like the old EC&M Crane Control Master switch we used to sell.
Visited Montezuma Castle National Monument which has housing built into the mountain from 1300 AD.
We are staying at Distant Drum RV Resort which is at 3277’ above sea level. The campground is very nice and we will consider coming back in the future.
The challenge for Sandy and I growing up in Ohio is acclimating to the elevation. Anything above 1000’ is a workout for us since we are truly “flat-landers”. The hiking is very aerobic in that it pushes our heart rate up very quickly, the trails are rocky, the air is thin, and everything is up, up, up, including the increase in elevation. It has been fun.
Sedona is also a great place for Jeeps, 4 wheelers, dirt bike etc...
Tomorrow we head out to our winter destination of Mesa Arizona.
Here are some pictures:
You guys are looking good, glad you liked Sedona. Keep on trucking. Your RV buddy Dave
