West Fork of Oak Creek - Sedona, AZ (September, 2002)

 
Not far from that bluff is the trail end.  You can walk right out onto a gravel bar and look as far up stream as you can this is what you'll see.

More or less a slot canyon with no dry route around it, we decided it was time to get wet...and cold.  (The water is a very chilly, probably around 60º.)

I mentioned before, the canyon is 14 miles and the trail is 3 of that.  The other 11 can be hiked by following the creek and sloshing through this type of slot canyon, maneuvering over boulders, and maybe even swimming in places.
