This will be a short post for a change, as Amy and I are both exhausted from our day's activity. We had a rough night last night at our international youth hostel, not because of the hostel itself, which was international, clean and well-kept, but due to the vocal drunkards threatening each other outside our window. Accordingly, we tried to sleep in a bit before having breakfast and deciding our plans for the day. We agreed on chill day hike, and Amy inquired at the Flagstaff Visitor Center and was told about a beautiful hike at Snow Bowl just 14 miles to the north with lovely views. It was supposed to be a 5 mile loop.
Well, 12 miles later...it turns out that the Kachina Trail is about 5 miles long one way, and that doesn't count the half mile spent getting to the trailhead. However, the views were fantastic, weaving through wooded areas and grass fields, and we saw some wildlife along the way. Plus we have a great story to tell down the road! So it was worth the battering to our feet, knees and legs, especially after getting out of the hotel hot tub a few minutes ago. Here a few pictures to document the event!
