Hiking Sedona's Local Trails - Visiting Snoopy

Nearly all of the rock formations in view from uptown Sedona have been given names and meaning depending upon their silhouette and the shapes people see in their mind. Looking southeast from the Sedona tourist strip area you'll see this view of the red rock horizon. One of the more famous rock names is Snoopy, as this group of eroded rocks appears to be the cartoon dog sitting on his doghouse. A friend of mine, who once lived in Sedona, told me he knew how to hike up to the top of Snoopy's head. So on Thursday, January 20, 2005, while George Walker Bush was being sworn in again as president, we went on this walk. The arrow in the close up picture shows where we will be standing at the end of this hike.
This walk began about 10 AM under an overcast sky, which soon burned away to blue sky and white clouds.

The view looking back from where we started. This is downtown Sedona. I took the first photo at the top of this page from the road in this picture. The large red rock in this photo is the top of Snoopy's head. It took about 2 hours to reach this point. Hope you enjoy this brief journal report. Jim Thomas, your reporter.
