Longs Canyon - Sedona, AZ (September, 2002)

 
Our first hike in Red Rock Country was a trail Mel picked out of a huge list.  We were looking for something without a big elevation change so we didn't kill ourselves first thing.  This one was only about 100 feet net change and 3 miles long so it wouldn't be too bad.

It started in an open desert setting and then entered a "canyon."  What they call a canyon in Arizona we call a valley or hollow.  (I didn't want you picturing something like the Grand Canyon or a slot canyon.)

The canyon walls were still very picturesque and they would have been even more so if the dry stream bed had had water in it.
