A gentle rolling trail for the first half or so, and just a few areas that got you breathing a bit deeper. It was peaceful and calm enough, to filter out even the un-Taciturn one.
Whoever Russell was, he seems to have his name all over the tanks and landmarks out there.
At about the 9 mile mark, you finally get your first views of the Coconino Rim, and are afforded some spectacular views. Better yet, stop by the AZ Fire-tower with the absolute best views. Both South and North views can be seen in all their splendor. Chris has quite the perch.
Hiking was not enough today, so we embarked on an excellent driving adventure as a short cut home. After 39 miles and 2 hours 37 minutes, we found our way right back to where we'd started, and followed the "Big Brown Signs" to the pavement.
As reported by the others... Lots-o-Elk, a couple of deer, and 2 Prong Horn Antelope were seen on our journeys.... Not to mention the numerous Prairie Dogs on our "Side Adventure".
A big thanks to Funky Junior for driving! As always, a fun time with the crew.
(Although, there were a few times that not everyone was having fun) |
