Sedona - October 2019

Broken Arrow Trail
As part of the last hurrah in Arizona, we opted to have a final weekend getaway in Sedona.  The movers had loaded up the truck and driven away on Wednesday so Shawna was staying at the Courtyard Marriott when Keith arrived from NYC on the Friday night.

Mariposa
On Saturday, we left the hotel at about 9 to drive to Sedona.  On the way, we stopped by the house and saw that the person who bought it was moving in already! While the room at the Arabella was not yet ready, we left our luggage there so that the wine would not get hot and the laptops not stolen!  We did the 2.25 hour Soldier Pass / Brins Mesa loop hike and then went back to the hotel for a nap but we never quite got to sleep. Instead, we went to Mariposa for dinner early and had a few drinks on the patio, which meant we were able to see the sun on the rocks which, as always, was stunning.  Dinner was delicious: tuna tartar, chopped salad, meat trio, mushrooms, and roasted cauliflower.  It was a perfect dinner. 

Soldier Pass / Brins Mesa Hike
On Sunday, we had breakfast at the hotel and then walked the Broken Arrow trail to Chicken Point and then back via Submarine Rock before having lunch at The Hudson where we had our favorite steak and blue salad - one each.  It was then a couple of hour drive back to Scottsdale where we checked in to the JW Marriott Desert Ridge, where Keith's conference was to be held the following three days.
