Wanted to see the aspen trees up at Snowbowl (Flagstaff) and do a geocaching/hiking
adventure. The aspen trees were so yellow. Lots of people doing picture taking-views
were awesome. Parked in an area that has various trails, one called the Aspen loop and the others that lead you up to Humphreys peak. The hike through the aspen grove was cool but
the trail was cover in yellow leaves. Then came to a meadow and then started the climb up
the hill. Found the log were the cache was hidden. Again great views. On the way back
I encounter to young college kids out hiking but were lost. They had no gps. Nice
conversation and they were very thankful once we reach the area to see the parked cars.
This hike was 2 mi around trip. After coming down the mountain, I continue my
travel on I-180. A along the way I stopped to find 3 more geocaches. One was at a Chapel
that was so cool. Finally arrived at the Hotel about 5p in Tusayan (next to the IMAX theater) which is about 5 miles to the Grand Canyon entrance.
