I'm so glad we were able to take an extra day to explore the area. After a leisurely morning, we decided to hike Cathedral Rock. It's everyone's favorite, who we were with. Unfortunately, due to our late morning, the trailhead parking was already full. The park ranger mentioned we could try Baldwin Trail instead to reach Cathedral Rock, so we decided to try it. The drive was gorgeous, and the hike was incredible. It wound through forest and along river. We were actually so glad this happened so we got to see it. We also met a couple from New York in the parking lot, and ended up hiking the entire trail with them. They were really nice and interesting -- it worked out really well. The hike to the top of Cathedral Rock is a little challenging, but was so worth it. The views were incredible and we felt very accomplished. Cole and I, and our new friends, decided to scale another rock surface to get even higher up. That was probably the most difficult part, but it was stunning. I thought the decent was going to be terrible, but besides a couple scary parts, it was ok. After the hike, we had a later lunch at a Mediterranean/Indian food truck. It was pretty cold and raining by then, but the food was great. After, we walked trough Tlaquepaque shopping area. Not really our cup of tea, but the mall itself was really pretty. We also stopped by a mystic store, which none of us appreciated. But we had to check it out. After our big day and late lunch we were all exhausted. We planned on going out for a nice dinner, but opted for Mexican take out instead.
One last picture. Mackenzie sent this to Pam. They are javalinas, and are all over Sedona. Usually early in the morning or at night. We saw three on our way back from the wedding. This photo was taken on the wedding property grounds the morning. Crazy!
