Although the cliffs are not as big in this section, the tour is a nice change of pace from all the activity of the main cliffs. This trip for my granddaughter and myself was especially fun for us as we had footage from a trip of us doing it 6 years ago. It was neat to compare our trips from today and 6 years ago.Cleaning your Fantastic FanTurtle38632023-07-24 | Just a quick video on cleaning the screen on an RV Fantastic FanCustomizing Your RVTurtle38632023-07-24 | Everyone enjoys setting up you RV the way you want so after I got most of my major modifications done it was time for a little customization of my own starting with the name "HARDSHELL Jr.".

Let me know in the comments what you think.Hiking Devils BridgeTurtle38632023-03-17 | Devil's Bridge just North of Sedona, Arizona is one of the top hikes that most people do when in that area. There are several trailheads leading you to the arch. On this hike I take the shortest hike which is about 4 miles round trip. It goes along a 4 x 4 trail for the first mile then takes a hard right and up hill for another mile. Light scrambling is required at the end to get to the top of the ridge. Well worth while hike. Best times to hike for less crowds are early morning and Winter months.
