We said goodbyes to our Desert Trails RV buddies and set out for Dead Horse Ranch State Park in Cottonwood AZ. The location gives us easy access to both Sedona and Jerome where our friends Andy and Lori live.
The park has trails for biking and hiking. They are easily accessible from our site.
It was hot during our stay which meant that we needed to be on the trail early if we wanted to hike or bike.
During our stay we decided to revisit Montezuma Castle National monument. This 20 room high rise, nestled into the limestone cliffs was the home of the Sinagua people who lived here 900 years ago.
Our friends Lisa and Jim from Desert Trails were camping near by so we decided to meet up for a hike in Sedona. We choose the 3.5 mile Chimney Rock Trail. We visited the Amitabha Stupa and Peace Park near the trailhead.
On our way to the trailhead we made a detour to checkout an amazing home called Red Tail Cliff.
We love hiking the red rocks in Sedona. The trails can be crowded and parking can be difficult but worth it once you’re on the trail.
We spent two Saturday’s in Jerome with Andy, Lori and about forty other locals for a weekly protest.
Our two weeks in Cottonwood flew by but it’s time to move on.
