Wow, what a week! Went the whole time without Internet! Mountain biking, hiking, swimming every day...weather was perfect.
Best hike: to top of Cockscomb feature--absolutely no one on the trail nor on the top, incredible views. We had a tough time finding this trail--but ended up finding a better way in--it's something like right on Dry Creek, at the T, turn left, stay left--go past Fay Canyon and Doe Mountain trails. Turn left on Aerie Rd, then a quick right to an unmarked parking lot. Trail in is perfect, would be fun on a bike. Hike up the rock is well marked, somewhat steep in places. Gorgeous, fun. More info
Best bike: Red Rock Trail and Little Horse Trail--Little Horse led up to Chicken Point. Along this trail was BEST WASH--incredible slick rock wash, again, gorgeous views and the bike trail was FUN! Did have to walk in a few places (marked with skull and crossbones on our Cosmic Ray bike map). More info
We "ate in" most of the time, but had a great dinner out our last night there...Dahl and DiLuca's Cucina Rustica in Oak Creek Village.
Finished our trip with a stop at the Museum of Northern Arizona--fantastic! And a trip to Northern Arizona University's bookstore to pick up prizes for my students' C3G days. They gave me a 25% discount!
Tonight, staying at our favorite lodging in Boulder City, Boulder Dam Hotel . Great deal in an historic hotel--quiet, nice, and on our way home :)
