10/26 - Hiking Oak Creek and Doe Mountain 

 

Oak Creek Canyon 

Oak Creek Canyon is a stunning part of Arizona offering landscape which includes red rock vistas, ponderosa pine forests and, of course, Oak Creek. Just north of Sedona and south of Flagstaff, Oak Creek Canyon is home to a wide variety of bird and animal life, as well as a wide variety of activities available to visitors and residents.

Doe Mountain Trail

From the ample parking lot at its trailhead, the Doe Mountain Trail switchbacks directly up the north side of this low, flat-topped Mesa. As you climb, you'll want to take time out to enjoy the excellent views of the surrounding countryside. A layer of erosion resistant cap rock has given Doe Mountain its classic mesa shape and provides hikers with a great platform from which enjoy the panoramic view. From this 400 foot high perspective, you can see a number of the Sedona Red Rocks Country's more prominent landmarks . You'll see Bear, Maroon and Wilson mountains, Loy, Boynton and Secret canyons, Chimney Rock, and the Cockscomb to name a few. Sedona is visible to the east and off to the south, Munds Mountain and Sycamore Pass mark the location of Sycamore Canyon and the Verde Valley.
