An overnight stop in Los Angeles with friends Dayle & Art Bell preclude a week in Sedona, Arizona with my sister Sue & Don, nephew Andy, and my brother David. It’s high summer and despite an elevation of 4,350′ it is still 100F…but as they say, it’s a dry heat!
Given we were still jet lagged it was no problem for us to get up at 5 am and begin a hike with Dave in the purple-hued desert mountains. We chose a different trail every day and were usually finished before 9 am, ready for a day with the rest of the family.
