Cockscomb Trail and Boynton Canyon (Sedona, AZ) – August 2008

 I originally posted some of these pictures with a travel blog write-up (and the link to the original was below).  I decided I wanted to share all the pictures I took of a particular area of point of interest, so some of these you will have seen before if you’ve been following this blog for a bit.  The link below gives more of the details, so I’m not going to rehash them here.  You’ll see that as I’d gotten a digital camera around this time, the number of pictures of an area has increased.

 After my lunch, I found what looked like a relatively short trail at Cockscomb, and figured that would be a good one to do.  It was the middle of the day, and very sunny.  The trail was all out in the open, without a lick of shade.  And a good portion of the trail paralleled a 4x4 path.  I’d gone a distance when I encountered a vehicle, whose driver told me the scenery I had now was pretty much what I was going to get for the rest of the trail.  I figured I’d call it good, and head towards the Boynton Canon on the very north of the city.  That looked like a nice wooded (shaded) trail, and pretty straight-forward.  There was another group which had started it a few moments before me.  While it didn’t take long to catch up with them, and keep up with them, they were doing this one-way (as they were heading to a friend’s place at the end).  I had to think about being able to hike out of this, so I did about three-quarters of it before heading back.  That was the good call, as I’d exhausted my water supply just as I reached the car, and my feet hurt like hell from all the hiking I did that day.  It was worth it though.
