Michael and I have thoroughly enjoyed our time here in the Verde Vally area. There are so many things to see and do, and the weather is perfect. Thus far we have toured Sedona with it's beautiful red rocks, driven the Red Rock Loop Road, visited Red rock State park, Jerome State Park, The Chapel of the Holy Cross, rode the Verde Valley Train, went to Tuzigoot National Monument (Ancient Pueblo Ruins built by the Sinagua Indians) and hiked several trails. There are several more things we plan on seeing before we leave the valley.
We have also gotten to visit with my nephew Bradley Childers and his family. Bradley and his wife Janice have four lovely children, Kelly, Jonathan, Cipriano, and Amanda. They live in Winslow,AZ. which is about 120 miles from our resort, so we split the difference and met them in Flagstaff 9/14 for lunch, and then on Saturday 9/20 we went back to Flagstaff to watch Jonathan and Cipriona play Football. It was such fun watching the little guys run and tackle. Amanda was fun to watch on the sidelines also.
Check out the link to Thousand Trails Verde Valley Campground. It has some other links to several attractions around this area.
This one picture is of Helen standing against a Pondarosa Pine on a trail along West Fork Oak Creek on one of our four mile hikes.
