This month we were able to join the Cottonwood Zone for a Monday Preparation Day Activity.

We met in Sedona at the Sisters place and all drove to:

SOLDIERS PASS

 This is our group at the bottom of the trail.  You can see that in January even up north in Sedona, the weather is very reasonable!

 One of the first natural wonders we came upon was this sinkhole.

I have to admit, I did not go up above to see the view of how deep it was and how dangerous it looked from there.

It was really beautiful!  When you saw all the rock that had fallen into the hole...it made you not want to get too close to the edge!

 Our daughter Breanna moved back in with us this month and loves to hike as well, so she joined us for the day.

The next natural wonder was the 7 mini pools that were formed in the rock.  Some were shallow and others much more deep.  They were really interesting as well!

 We had planned on finding some natural arches in the area, but could not find the correct trail to those...instead, we found some really neat natural benches of rock and just a beautiful hike!

It did not matter where we went, we were just enjoying how incredibly gorgeous it is in this area, and that we could be together enjoying it!
