On three day weekends our family enjoys hiking.  We look up a hike in the Arizona Highways Magazine and go on an adventure.  This hike was up near Sedona and although you can’t tell in the picture, we were surrounded by huge walls of red rock.  It was so beautiful.  We had a great time.  Ben made us impromptu walking sticks because in the shade the snow was ice and slippery.  Plus we crossed a creek about 5 times, so the sticks helped support us while stepping on stones.
