Welcome to my weekly update for December 15, 2024!
Since we had recovered from our Thanksgiving colds, my husband and I decided to drive from Phoenix up to Sedona last weekend and spend a few days. This was our first visit and we fell in love. It’s gorgeous with all the towering red rocks but it still has enough trees and green scrub to satisfy my East Coast heart.
We stopped by Montezuma Castle National Monument on the drive up. This was our second time seeing cliff dwellings since we arrived in Arizona and it’s just amazing to me that these structures are still standing. We did a lot of hiking the other two days.

- Close to the beginning of the Boynton Canyon trail. We walked beside the grounds of a resort for a while then left it behind as we entered the canyon proper.
- My husband taking pictures at the mouth of Subway Cave. We were not sure I was going to successfully clamber up the rocky entrance and getting down was an even dicier prospect but I did it!
