"Exit light ..

Take my hand;

We're off to never NEVER-LAND ..."

UN 6300', The Parthenon and Acropolis take on a wintertime profile, as seen from Sedona's Sugarloaf Trail ..

The Schnebly Hill Formation is Sedona’s very own deposit and was formed in sand dunes that once fringed the shoreline of a shallow sea. The sea was centered to the south of Sedona, and the shoreline was located here.

Sand was blown in from the north across the Grand Canyon area and came to rest near this ancient shoreline ... thus quickens the sands of time.

from you, Larry.
There's nothing like red rocks, green plants and snow.

Cheers,

Can that rock be climbed? Or protected, I should say?

	Hasn't voted	Mind you, I'm not a climber ... there are some people who've climbed the one in the middle ... even though Sedona is well-known for rock climbing enthusiasts, the rock is often soft and routes can be inconsistent in quality ... thus increasing the risk factor and degree of protection. According to a rock-climbing website, the Acropolis (on the far right) can be climbed on its south face via three trad routes rated at 5.9+ - 5.11+ - and 5.11+ .

	Hasn't voted	It's within 35 miles, but you gotta pay to park at the trail-head. Yes, recent shot! Even though I consider myself to be a cheap bastard, I usually end up with an annual pass. Just to work off some flab on my ASS !
