Our week began with a colorful drive from the Phoenix airport to Sedona.

What a treat to shed my heavy Chicago winter coat and feel the warm desert air in shorts and a t-shirt as I cruised along these open roads with window-open breezes.

Along the way we stopped for lunch at the Texas Grill.

Their chicken fried steak was a local favorite.

Our house for the week was nestled amidst the canyons of Sedona.

The spacious deck looked out onto an expanse of canyons.

Grand views even from inside!

A lovely view even when washing dishes!

Our first night with quiet canyons at dusk.

Canyon Hike

After hiking a mile or two through canyon trees we emerged to find some cool rock-scramblin' spots.

Kate found a comfy perch in this gentle canyon.

Don't break my prickly heart.

Rock fort!

We hiked until the trail ran out and enthusiasm for bouldering upward waned.

Time to head back!!

The hike back offered expansive views of the canyon.

We watch the sun set over downtown Sedona.
