Acclimatisation

Mandy and the other trekkers landed in Phoenix yesterday afternoon at approximately 6pm MST (2am BST). They transferred to their hotel, had a meal at Denny's before returning to their hotel where they spent the rest of the day relaxing.

Day 2: Phoenix – Sedona – Oak Creek Canyon 

Drive approx 2 hours; trek approx 3-4 hours / 5-6 miles

After an early breakfast and a detailed trip briefing we have a scenic drive north through the Sonoran Desert. We arrive in the beautiful area of Sedona, known for its beautiful red sandstone landscapes and dramatic rock formations. We spend the rest of the day walking along the beautiful Oak Creek Canyon, often referred to as the Grand Canyon’s small cousin! This is the perfect acclimatisation trek, helping our bodies to get used to the heat and the terrain. We then meet our vehicles and transfer approx. 45 mins to our hotel in Flagstaff, which lies on the historic Route 66.
