My wife and I are thinking about traveling to the Sedona area next spring. Did you do much hiking while you were there or just picture taking?

Oct 02, 2012 00:11 | #6 Thanks yall. I didn't hike this time up, but I am only 2 hours away in Phoenix so I have been up several times. There are some great trails in the area and the scenery is amazing. Be sure to try to come in early spring before it starts to heat up. Also make sure to take lots of water when you go out. You don't feel like you are getting dehydrated because you don't sweat much in the low humidity, but you are losing water quickly. Rent a jeep or 4x4 if you are flying in because some of the trailheads are only accessable by bad dirt roads. I would suggest checking out devil's arch, a natural bridge that everyone wants their picture standing on and also Oak Creek Canyon. Take the pink jeep tour...it's worth it. They take you to places you would otherwise never know about.

This is just to give people an idea of what to expect at the bridge. I didn't climb to the top to shoot the surounding area. Devil's Bridge Sedona, Az
IMG_2832 by D_Swanson, on FlickrNice shot! I didn't climb to the top either. I stupidly dragged my whole backpack full of gear along instead of just taking the camera and a lens. It was in the low 100s and I was dying by the time I got to the bottom part, so I found an nice shady area while the dude I was with climbed the rest of the way.

yowzer Senior Member 348 posts Likes: 14 Joined Feb 2010 Location: Albuquerque, NM More info | I did the same about the back pack. Temps were a little lower but I forgot water and I still needed some. This was one of my first shots on my trip and I learned very quickly about water. Your shots are very good, love the scenery in that area. I took a couple shots on the way up to Devil's Bridge. 5Dmkii - Gripped - Kirk 'L' Bracket, 100mm L IS, 24-70mm L, 70-200mm L IS, 100-400mm L IS, Sigma 12-24mm, Canon 2x TC, 580EX II, 60D - Gripped - Kirk 'L' Bracket, 18-135mm IS, Gitzo 3541LS, Kirk BH-1

Huge KUDOS to you. Have plenty of Canons, enough ammo, enough to blow 'em to "L". Now, I just have to learn to aim.
