Hike #31 - Sterling Pass to Vultee Arch, Sedona, AZ
One thing I have learned to appreciate is that there is no shortage of
hiking trails in Sedona! I am blessed to live only 2 hours away from
the best scenery and hiking in the country. Sterling Pass trail is located in Oak
Creek Canyon. It is a moderate hike with plenty of switchbacks, up
1,100' through pine forest that is recovering from a past forest fire.
The views are spectacular. After reaching Sterling Pass at 6,000' we
continued down into Sterling Canyon to Vultee Arch. The Arch is named
after Gerald and Syvia Vultee who died in a plane crash near this spot.
The total distance was 5 miles out and back.
