Sedona & Grand Canyon
Road trip! Took Thursday and Friday off from work and left LA around 7am taking highway 40 (instead of 10) to go through Flagstaff and down to Sedona. The new(used) car finally went on the freeway for longer than a minute and I was getting mpg’s up a in the 40s chugging along. Once we saw Sedona and northern Arizona I realized my expectations were way off - it was beautiful there! We met up with Mia’s family and over the few days we did a lot of hiking: Fay Canyon and Soldier’s Pass trails, a walk up to the famous cathedral built into the mountains, and a drive to the southern rim of the Grand Canyon. Although it took about 30 minutes to get through the entrance line at the gates, it wasn’t too crowded once inside and we did a couple of hikes before sunset.
It was a great trip and definitely a place I feel the need to go back to.
