Our trip had almost come to an end and we had planned the day before a train tour of Cottonwood areas to finish our trip with a big bang! It was the 31st of May, 2008. A Saturday. The only thing we had planned was this 4hr. tour. It was so fun! There was a little boy who was 6 years old on our area of the train. At first he was shy but then he suddenly started talking to me and asking me questions and pointing at things with an excited attitude. To make a long st...

Friday came around. The 30th of May, 2008. We ate breakfast at the diner for the huge lodging area we stayed at in Yavapai.

Our whole vaccation was a blast! We got up pretty early to pack our stuff because after we would ride we would leave Sedona and drive up to the Grand Canyons for a few days. This whole trip was plnned out while we were there which was totally awesome! We only had the rental car, the first two n...

Tuesday was very exciting! It was the 27th of May and my dad and I had been looking forward to hiking! We went first to this one place in Sedona that was fairly dry, no running water, and it was kind of hot that day (even though it had been about 70F before now). We only went for a few 20 minutes or so before deciding we wanted something with running water, so we drove (a beautiful view) to what was called "West Fork". I wasn't paying attention to what ...
