The Broken Arrow Trail


 “Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and enjoy the journey.” – Babs Hoffman
















Do you remember this photo from last week? It marks the end of a glorious trail. Not too steep. Not too hard. Just right. You'll see red rocks sculpted by heavenly hands, geckos and gnarly tree bones, cactus and thorns, vistas in techno color. The pink jeep tours are all over it. But why sit? When you can get red dirt on your sneakers. We hiked it last summer, in Sedona, Arizona. 


Wow! What a trail! 

Still, round the corner, there may wait, A new road or a secret gate.” – J. R. R. Tolkien

Happy and Healthy New Year, Sharon! Your photos are beautiful. Sedona is such a special place. Every time we visit AZ we stop there on our way to see family in the Phoenix area.

Great quote as I do tend to be one to worry about the potholes. Should have ignored them more. Beautiful scenic photos.

Looks like a great trail - a little different from the snowy walks we are taking these days.

way too hot for hiking over here this time of year, so we go for a short walk after dinner. I might need to find an old post for you. Wishing you and yours a happy healthy and safe 2021, and thank you for visiting my blog this week.
