Whew! What an amazing hike that was!
I had this amazing idea to take a 2 hour road trip to go on a beautiful hike in Sedona. 4 hours after actually getting in the car we were actually at the hiking trail we wanted to go on. In between that time my boyfriend forgot his shoes (yep...his shoes) so that put us back about 45 minutes and than we decided to take an extra 20 mile drive to a trail that had a bunch of 5 year olds and 80 year olds walking it. Based on the fact that we took 4 hours to get there we were not about to walk a trail with a bunch of amateurs...ha!
Or at least that's what I was thinking before we got to Huckaby trail. It was considered a moderate longer hike, but being that it was our first hike of the season I should have taken that into consideration. Don't get me wrong it was absolutely stunning. It started off very deserty with a bunch of cactus, red dirt and rocks, but as you got farther and deeper into the trail it started turning very mountainess. It actually really reminded me of back home. The last 3/4 of a mile was along a creek side with big boulders.
But it wasn't all just sceneary. The actual trail was a huge excersice push for me. I was still sore in areas I never felt sort before two days later. When I completed this trail it felt like I had accomplished something much larger than a hike. I'm so ready for more and can't wait to go again.
