PLEASE NOTE: All hikers must have signed the online waiver and paid prior to showing up for a hike.
Most of our hikes begin either in the parking area at the Posse Ground in Sedona (indicated by a "PG" in the schedule) or in the rear parking lot of the Sedona Vista Village Shops in the Village of Oak Creek (indicated by "VOC"). Other starting points are indicated below. All hikers should be at the specified meeting place prior to the posted start time so we can leave for the trailhead as scheduled.
All hikes return in mid- or late afternoon.
All hike distances listed below represent approximate round-trip mileage and approximate cumulative elevation gain.
In keeping with the Letter Of Agreement between the Westerners and USFS, all hikes involving Wilderness (rated W12 below) strive to have at most 12 hikers in a group. If more hikers are at the meeting place they should split into groups, stagger the start times, and maintain separation throughout the hike. All groups hiking in other than Wilderness are limited in size to 25.
Due to weather or other circumstances, Hike Bosses may cancel or change a scheduled hike without prior notice. Please check the website before heading out and click the "more info" button for additional hike information.

On the Navajo Reservation, seventy miles northeast of Sedona, we will meet our guide, Dr. G. Kent Colbath for our hike and geological exploration of these magnificent bigger-than-Niagara falls. On our way back, Dr. Colbath will take us to a volcanic site, the source of the river-blocking lava flow resulting in formation of the falls, 20,000 years ago. Then we’re welcome to free-fall on our own – perhaps a Flagstaff feast or just a quick stop at DQ as we drive down 89A.

Cost: $10 - Copper Museum, $7 Jerome Historical Museum, plus share of gas cost to the carpool driver - suggested $3/person.
In our own backyard, Clarkdale and Jerome offer outstanding museums. We’ll start at the Copper Museum for a private tour with Drake, the owner/founder. Wait a minute … a “copper museum” … seriously? Really? Just you wait, Henry Higgins!
Then we’ll stroll Clarkdale and learn the scandalous history of its founder, William Andrews Clark, about whom Mark Twain said, “Clark is as rotten a human being as can be found anywhere….to my mind he is the most disgusting creature the American republic has produced since Boss Tweed's time.” Why? Just you wait ….
Then on to the hills of Jerome for longer walking – on the “outskirts,” a visit with Winston Churchill (?!?) at the State Historical Park Museum; “downtown,” wanderings wherever – to shops and galleries and more. “Do lunch” outdoors or inside any of several fine eateries, and be sure to meet “Nellie Bly” at her extraordinary shop of America’s most, and most amazing, kaleidoscopes.

4:00 Heritage Square / dinner with the Devil
6:00 return to Lowell / open house with educators for night sky viewing
6:48 sunset … and more telescopic viewing
Lowell may be America’s most famous observatory. And it’s so much more. Even for those who think they have little interest in astronomy, it is a fabulous museum. And for those who think an observatory’s only for dark skies, we’ll start with solar viewing. a guided forty-minute tour will be next, followed by ample time for exhibit strolling.
Then comes Flagstaff fun, minutes away, including dinner at “Diablo Burger” (or any of several other eateries at/near Heritage Square). When, about a dozen years ago, USA Today picked each state’s best burger, the Arizona choice was the diablo burger. And yes, Diablo offers gluten-free and vegetarian options.
After our late lunch / early dinner, “it’s back to Lowell we’ll go” for … dessert! Four days before the new moon, we’ll hope for heavenly viewing of the Milky Way, and maybe DQ on the way home. (What would you expect from a Tracker Boss from Wisconsin?)

We will meet up at the new parking lot near the Mescal Trail. Turn right when Dry Creek Rd dead ends, and the new parking area is on the left side of the road about 1/2 mile. This is a great hike that goes in and out of the forest and has spectacular views as well as very interesting rock formations. We will take a little side trip to visit the Van Deren cabin, which is an historic Sedona landmark. When we scouted the hike there were lots of wildflowers in bloom. There are a lot of ups and downs n this hike. Poles are a good idea The hike is a moderate Ambles hike at 5.5 miles.
