We got off to a reasonably early start for a hike on Bell Rock Trail. We tried the first exit which put us at the south end of the trail, but finding it very crowded, opted for the north end which was just right. The terrain was smooth and gentle for awhile, but then got very steep and uneven. We had walked enough and were there mostly to enjoy the beautiful rock formations. Bell Rock did not disappoint.
We then drove into Sedona and introduced Gene and Mary to Tlaquepaque, the amazing Spanish Colonial shopping extravaganza near the south end of Sedona. The Daniels were knocked out by the detail and beauty of the architecture and plantings. We ate lunch in the Secret Garden Cafe http://www.sedonasecretgardencafe.com/. Yum.
