Wed. Nice drive to the area. Lots of aspen trees. The Snowbowl lodge and ski area is at 9500. Sking started here around 1939. In 1963 the chair lift was built. The ride to the top takes about 30 min to elev of 11500. Great Views. The area is called San Francisco Peaks, the top here is known as Agassiz. Do to some thunder going on, the staff was asking everyone to leave the top in order to close down the lift. Then it started to rain. Snowbowl is celebrating its 70 yr Anniversary.
From there, down about 2 mi did some geocaching. Small hikes to the cache. The one called Stone-Wall was great because I had deer watching me. Took their picture.
Proceeded to the Museum of N. Arizona. What a great place. Spent 2 hours there. U can read more about the museum at http://www.musnaz.org/
