West Fork of Oak Creek - Hiking Pictures/Report October 2012

It was a perfect weekend to check out  and hike West Fork of Oak Creek in Sedona.  The fall colors haven't really hit yet but the weather was perfect.  Make sure if go on this hike that at the end you head through the creek up around a couple corners to see the best sights of the trip!  The main trail ends after about 3.5 easy hiking miles.  From there you can keep going a ways but it is off trail and just cruising through the creek.  We trekked another 1/4 mile and the views were great.Your feet will get wet but it's worth it.  Also, this hike is very dog friendly.  There were a number of people with their dogs our on the trail.
