45.33 & 45.34 Sedona: Two outings above 'Hangover Rock' and the butte opposite it.

It would be difficult to determine at which hike in Sedona we had the most enjoyment, adrenaline rushes or were just scared out of our wits. Whichever one or three it was, it really does not matter. We think the trick is to make the most of each experience whether it's a repeat or an initial attempt. We have mentioned from time-to-time that no day is ever the same, no scene remains constant—there are always nuances both objectively and from within, which place a different slant on life in general and days on 'the slopes', in particular.
