Locals know of the notorious beauty of West Fork of Oak Creek Canyon just outside of Sedona, Arizona. It's one of the most popular day hiking canyons in the area. But very few people experience it in its full, rugged nature, by hiking it from the top all the way down to where the crowds are. Join me and my friend as we backpacking through this spectacularly beautiful canyon.
