Grand Canyon National Park (1996, 2005 & 2007) : The first 4 photos were taken on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon in 1996 & 2005.
Popular day hike on the North Kaibab Trail (distances and times are for the R/T) Coconino Overlook: 1.4 mi (1h) Supai Tunnel: 3.6 mi (2h30) Redwall Bridge: 5.4 mi (4h) Needle's Eye: 7 mi (5h) Roaring Springs: 10 mi (8h)

In November 2007, we rode our bikes along Hermit Road which follows the rim for 8 miles/13 km west from Grand Canyon Village to Hermits Rest.
That road is closed to private cars so the traffic (free shuttle) is very light.
Amazing views & beautiful sunset!

Hiking around Sedona (Nov 2007) : Hiking around Sedona's main attraction, the Red Rocks, was great. 
Many of Hollywood's classic westerns were filmed in or near Sedona.
There is a specialized New Age tourist industry in Sedona, where the "Harmonic Convergence" was organized by Jose Arguelles in 1987. Some purported "spiritual vortices" are said to be concentrated in the Sedona area at Bell Rock, Airport Mesa, Cathedral Rock, Boynton Canyon, and Schnebly Hill.
