Hiking Adentures

Design your own adventure.

All levels of difficulty available in Sedona.

Whether you choose to ‘discover’ Indian Ruins, petroglyphs, or just experience the sacred beauty of the land, there is something for everyone.

Allow your trained guides to show you the hidden gems of Sedona and the surrounding land, out of the way of tourists and shoppers.

Priced individually to accommodate your interests, focus and time allotment.

Hiking with Leon:

I am the kind of guy that likes to blaze a trail. Not to the point of hurting the environment, of course. But I like to climb where nobody has been for a very long time.

I like the unexpected. Like following a wash to the top cliff where it begins and discovering a native american ruin, practically untouched for hundreds of years.

Or like the time I followed my inner guidance to blaze a path to the top of one of the better known sites here in Sedona, known locally as the Throne of Isis, only to find an old ladder embedded into the stone, leading up to a perfect meditation cave at the top of the throne.

And then there is the time we were hiking around the top-most spires of Cathedral Rock, only to hear sounds from a threatened animal, possibly a bobcat or a mountain lion.

I could go on and on with great adventures, but why tell you about mine? Why not come here to Sedona and experience your own?

Hiking with Phoenix:

So okay, I like following a path. Nothing is wrong with that. There are only 300 of them here in Sedona, ranging from easy to strenuous. Something for everyone. All of them scenic, with views you will not see anywhere else in the world.

For me, hiking is a walking meditation. If I have to figure out where to put my hands and feet in order to keep going, it breaks my reverie. I would rather let my mind wander as fast or as slow as my feet.

That does not mean I do not have great adventures with my hiking. I enjoy bringing my rattle and/or drum to introduce clients to the spirit of the land. I have some favorite hikes where it is permissible to move off the beaten trail to a wash, or a cave, or just an inviting place under a tree, and that is where we do our shamanic work or visioning work or healing work. One man had such a vivid experience meeting a spirit of a native american chief, he was unable to talk about it for twenty minutes! It is not uncommon to meet ancestral spirits on these trails. Most of them are friendly.

I also enjoy helping clients meet and understand their plant, animal and rock totems (a shamanic term for a life-form spirit has chosen for you, intending to help you.) There was one time when after our guided meditation we opened our eyes to find ourselves surrounded by fairy stones glittering in the sun. They certainly were not there when we began meditating!

Mostly I love the scenic trails with the beautiful rock formations, perpetually green foliage, and signs of wildlife. There are so many alcoves, washes and power spots, it is easy to just allow our footsteps to take us to the perfect place for angelic healing, guided meditation, or a psychic reading.

Why not come here to Sedona and let your footsteps guide you on the right path?

There is even Hiking with Both Leon and Phoenix!!!

We really like hiking together. We challenge each other to go farther or higher or just DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

We like stretching out and finding we really do not have limits, like the A.B. Young Trail. Raising in elevation about 2000 feet and with 33 switchbacks, we began to feel rather like pack mules as we trudged along. But the spectacular views of Oak Creek Canyon kept us going around each switchback. At the top of the rock formation, there is another trail leading to a ranger station with even more incredible views of the San Francisco and other surrounding peaks.

Not that we always like high elevation trails, but we managed to find another one that was absolutely incredible. This trail does not even have a name---it is just an old road. One used by the Hopi for 1200 years to traverse the Mongollan Rim from Sedona to Flagstaff. Later used by the Spanish, and even by stagecoach drivers, this road is a very difficult path to follow. Dotted with large chunks of lava, even down at the bottom of the rim where they have washed down, the going is challenging and potentially ankle breaking. But the etheric smell of horses and gun powder, along with the faint sound of ancestral singing kept us going. Visions of women gathering herbs and braiding yucca as they walked kept appearing before us. Views of the Verde Valley were stunning. We kept wondering if the trail was always this rough, and if so, how many times did the stage coach break down? Somehow we persevered to the top of the Mongollon Rim where the remains of an old and large campfire site were found. What a place for a past life regression!

So there really is something for everyone. You just have to ask for what you want.

Hikes are individually priced based on choice of hike, the number of hours desired, and the number in your party.
