Our trip started with dinosaurs out near Palm Springs, then to Joshua Tree, then past Lake Havasu. Day 2, 12/24, included some amazingly brave hikes up Sedona’s Doe and Bear Mountain. Doe Mountain is a “moderate” hike, and many hikers used the aid of hiking sticks. Bear Mountain is labeled “hard” and “very steep.” On occasion, we weren’t sure if we were on a trail, or a rock slide.
