Buckskin gulch, Vermillon Cliffs, Az.

Buckskin Gulch is an area in Vermillon Cliffs, in North Arizona. We did this hike on a very nice day, it was around 90 degre temperature. Pretty hot. We got an incredible dark blue sky. But the most incredible was really the landscape, not very lush but stunning by the sandstone and the different tint and colors.
It was difficult to walk fast, beacause I wanted to photographed everything, and enjoy each different 'paysage', landscape, roch.




This hike is not a very difficult one, it takes about 3 hours to arrive to Paria/Wire Pass. It's very sandy, so you have to have good shoes to walk comfortably. and I really recommend you to wear pants! lots of spiny thistle, ouch!
After an hour, we just didn't pay to much attention but our legs looked like....hedgehog.

Before stopping for lunch we just took some time to take them off!




After a pretty long walk in the sun, we were really happy to reach the Paria Canyon and walked in the shade of the smooth beautiful rock.
It was slightly muddy, but nothing annoying.

This part of the hike was totally different from the beginning, and we like it as much!

We were happy to finally reach the crossing of paths, were we stop for lunch, and admired the petroglyphs




Petroglyphs were numerous in this area, include some more recent, with signature...










We didn't want to go back through the same way, so we took Wire Pass, which is much shorter, but again, amazing rocks and landscape!
This time, we even need to do some climbing because the paths between the canyon is extremely narrow, about shoulder width sometimes, and boulders are blocking the way. But nothing impossible!
Very pleasant hike.

And to finish the day we enjoyed our hotel, where we take some time enjoy the swimming pool and the Jacuzzi to relax our muscles, and be prepared for another hike the next day...

Sedona...

Sedona, the red town, the spiritual town! Located in central Arizona and about two hours south of the Grand Canyon, Sedona is one of the jewels of the United States. Travelers discovering this city for the first time are really amazed.
Sedona is nestled in Oak Creek Canyon. Its richness resides in the red landscapes and high energy of its vortexes.
The rock formations shift their color shades from red coral, pink, golden brown, and burgundy depending on the time of the day. Colors are striking due to iron in the sandstone and limestone rock.
Some rocks are named after their shape: Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, Coffee Pot.
These extraordinary old red rocks, (1.8 billion years) are the result of sedimentation and erosion. Sedona has been completely covered by an ocean several times. It is not uncommon to find shells while hiking.

Some of these places are filled with a channeled and amplified energy. It is said to enhance meditation, prayer, visualization, inspiration and creativity. A place with this energy is called a 'Vortex'.
These vortexes or vortices remain a great mystery and are subject to many interpretations, both scientific and non scientific.
A generally accepted theory on the vortices is that they concentrate the magnetic fields of the earth’s energy. This magnetic energy is most probably due to the iron contained in these red rocks.

Other theories define a Vortex as a force from a dimension other than the one we live in, a parallel dimension if you will.
Whatever they are, these energies are strongly felt in our own dimension, when standing on a Vortex.

Everyone has a different experience, and nobody can predict what your experience will be! But don’t worry; very few negative experiences have ever been associated with these places.
