17/11: Boyton Canyon

Posted by: The Agnew Family
Today started with the time share presentation. "They" claim they don't use high pressure tactics but it felt high pressure to me. Ed and I must seem too interested or something. Zaph was our excuse but apparently a number of resorts have started allowing pets, so that didn't work so well. After the forth person sat with us offering time shares (not at this resort) for as little as $300, our "NO" finally go us out of the building. Don't think we'll sit through another one of these for a long while.
Boynton Canyon trail was our destination today. The hike takes you along side of a luxury resort called Enchantment then deep into the canyon till you can't go any further. On the Internet, Enchantment is listed as the premium resort in Sedona and as far as location goes it is in an amazing spot.
View of the canyon. If you look real close you can see the water tanks and a couple of buildings belonging to the resort.
First you hiked along the edge of the resort then down in the bottom of the canyon. Next was a wooded area where you slowly gained altitude and the temperature dropped. Eventually you climbed about half way up the side of the canyon wall where the trail ended and the only way to extend the trail was to go straight up. The view at the end of the trail.
Since Zaph has his own backpack I decided he could carry his water, bowl and treats today. He wasn't a happy camper initially but eventually got use to it. When people stopped to pet him, he would shake the pack as if to say "Pleeeeeease take this off".
