Explore the intersection of hiking, science and conservation as we explore the Seven Sacred Pools in Sedona and the Barefoot Trail in Flagstaff, Arizona.

Sedona is known for its red rocks, amazing hiking trails and its spiritual vortex energy. Learn about the mystery of Sedona's vortexes while hiking Cibola Pass to the Seven Sacred Pools. After that, we kick off our shoes because we're hiking the Barefoot Trail in Flagstaff as we explore the health benefits of hiking barefoot.
