All this set against the red rocks and turquoise sky is simply amazing.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a well maintained trail along Oak Creek. Three miles each way but go at your own pace and enjoy the changing fall leaves and the creek that runs by.\u00a0 There is a $9 entry fee so bring some cash.\u00a0 I arrived late in the afternoon and didn&#8217;t get a chance to hike the full trail. I am told you might get a little wet as the trail crosses the creek. I will definitely make time for a return trip here.<\/p>\n<p><object type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"400\" height=\"240\" data=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/apps\/video\/stewart.swf?v=109786\" classid=\"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\"><param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"intl_lang=en-us&#038;photo_secret=7deda90b08&#038;photo_id=6392030061\"><\/param><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/apps\/video\/stewart.swf?v=109786\"><\/param><param name=\"bgcolor\" value=\"#000000\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I guess I have been sleeping under a rock.
