| Mormon Mountain - Flagstaff, AZ (September, 2002) |
|
|
After hiking several days in the desert
and knowing we'd hike a few more before returning home, we decided we
needed a break. What was nice, was the alpine forests just
southeast of Flagstaff weren't a far drive from Sedona. The area shown here is about 7,800 feet above sea level. The forests are dominated by pines (mainly Ponderosa), and dotted with aspens (higher elevations) and oaks (lower elevations), making for a real "Colorado" feel. The trail we chose was Mormon Mountain Trail. It started at around 7,000 ft. asl and ascended to 8450 ft. asl to the top of Mormon Mountain, all covering a distance of over 3 miles. |
