Alternate title: I shouldn’t post some of these photos on the interweb.

On Tuesday I mentioned that most of our time in Sedona was spent hiking. We’re wild and crazy kids.

Our first stop was the Boynton Canyon trail. We were greeted with a bear warning. My brother and I were fully prepared to take on any wild animals that we might encounter.

No, we didn’t encounter any wild animals. Yes, I wore lots of sunscreen. Yes, my nickname was bear meat. No Mom, we will never grow up.

This hike was a 6 mile round trip hike through the canyon. It was a fairly easy hike. Most of it was shaded which was an added benefit.

This hike was pretty uneventful. Some nice Austrian man took our photo at the end of the trail. We gave my brother lessons in composition while on this trip. Looks like we should have also offered them to our new friend.

Nate took pretty photos. My brother and I were obnoxious. The usual. The following pose is still in, right?

My brother wants everyone to know that he took the following photo. Not Nate. Just to clear that up.

Our next trail was Devil’s Bridge. A 3 mile round trip trail. My brother and Nate enjoyed this trail. I did not. This is the time that I tell you all about my fear of heights. I like to hike flat trails. Not trails where I can fall to my death…like this trail. Here is the bridge. My brother and Nate walked out on that thing. I did not. No way. No how.

The views on the way up were quite awesome.

The trail itself. Eh. This was a good part.

The following photo sums up this hike. Me baby stepping up the trail. Nate taking photos of my rear (which I cropped out to save us all). My brother resting and taunting me. I hate my brother. And my husband.

We eventually made it to the top. Where I sat firmly planted in a safe location.

My brother and Nate walked on out on that thing. Dumb. Some doctor kept trying to get me to go out there. I forgave him after he saved us a 1.5 mile hike back from the trailhead to our car.

Our last hike was the West Fork Oak Creek trail. This hike was 6 miles round trip. This trail had 12 creek crossings which was kind of fun.

The only thing we disliked about this trail was that the end was pretty uneventful. We were hoping for some big pool or awesome view. This was it. Still pretty but eh.
