Tag: Kendrick Peak

This was our last hike, and we were super excited to get it done. We started down the dirt road in my car and reached…

Weather was perfect !

This was all uphill but loads of view all the way up. Great trail.  This is one I would definitely repeat.

Nice trail, steady incline from trailhead to tower! Great views, awesome fall colors.

This wide flat road/trail makes this hike easier than the rest. Steady elevation gain with plenty of shade and wind.

Great MTN out of the three flagstaff Peaks this one is my fav. Hiked with my lazy dog she is not too happy with me.

More merrier hiking with the group for the first time. Amazing view

This was long but fun and not to strenuous! The cabin is locked and used for storage now and the fire tower was closed due…

This hike was less technical than the Sedona hikes, and even Mt Elden, but that didn’t make it easy because if it’s length and steepness.…
