Sedona...kinda

Dead Horse Ranch State Park, Cottonwood, AZ



This is our third time camping at this state park.  It’s a great location, close to Sedona, but far enough away to get away from all the tourists. We love biking around the 3 big lagoons in the park. There’s lots of hiking trails too.












Sedona is known for its numerous mountain biking trails, there really aren’t any of the paved biking paths that we like.  We started out on a rather easy looking dirt path, but it got rocky, narrow and too steep for me.  Neither our touring bikes (nor my 62 yr old body) are well equipped for this terrain.











Yes, this is much more my speed.  














We stopped by the trail ride hut and toyed with the idea of going on a horse back ride. No one was there so this was as close as we got. 














We’re camped here for a couple of days.  We’ve been socially distancing and staying away from the tourist spots so the idea of visiting downtown Sedona isn’t on our radar. Not sure what we’ll do tomorrow. There are so many wonderful activities here, I’m sure we’ll come up with something.  It’s 90 degrees so and blazing hot so we’ll definitely have to factor that in.

I’m with you Deb!! I hadn’t been on a horse in quite some time!! I was in Breckenridge, CO at the beginning of September and went for a ride. I was scared to death at first. But once we got going, it wasn’t so bad!!

I love seeing your adventures!! And I miss seeing you and Ned!! Love to you both!!
