My younger daughter, visiting from Wisconsin, is an avid fan of National Parks and enthusiastically agreed to accompany me on a trip through the heart of Arizona while stopping at one National Park plus four National Monuments.

These rock formations, the Madonna and Two Nuns, overlook the Chapel of the Holy Cross, pictured below.

We crossed dry creek beds, though there was evidence of the recent rainfall – thick red mud and a variety of prints, some human, some not. The trail is a favorite not only of hikers, but cyclists also take to these hills.

Indian Paintbrush on Little Horse Trail

get link Scarlet Indian Paintbrush is a favorite flower, adding bright color, though we only spotted it in a few places. Usually we saw just one or two stalks of the bright orange stalks, so we stopped to take photos when we found a large stand of the wildflower in the brush of a downed tree.

follow url The flowers of Indian paintbrush are edible, and were often mixed with fresh greens by southwestern Native American tribes. It was also used as a hair conditioner, a treatment for rheumatism, and an overall health tonic – an all-purpose plant!

https://www.mssbizsolutions.com/p43m6l1 A criss-cross of trails makes it doubly important to note the trail signs. Though Little Horse Trail is an easy hike, it leads into the wilderness area beyond Chicken Point. It’s always a good idea to have a map and plenty of water when hiking any of the red rock trails.

  1. source link Sounds like the first edition of your interesting travel log. 🙂 I look forward to the rest.

  2. click I do love Sedona. Your photos and prose, and Amanda’s photo, brings it all back to me. We never hiked there, though. I’m sure your hikes gave you much more of a sense of the unique nature there than our trips. We just ate….and went shopping! …All noble pursuits, of course!
