Sunfellow: Loy Butte Hike

While Michael Dowd and Connie Barlow (of "Thank God For Evolution") were visiting Sedona, I took them out to Loy Butte to see some ruins. Click on the photos below for a larger view. I have included some brief statistics about Sedona below the photos.





Some quick statistics about Sedona, Arizona:

According to Coconino National Forest officials, the 160,000 acres that make up Sedona's red rock country has been populated by human beings for at least 8,000 years!

Today, Sedona is home to about 12,000 people, many of whom are devoted hikers and environmentalists. The area also attracts about four million visitors annually.

Along with human beings, Sedona is also home to deer, coyote, mountain lions, more than 550 types of seed plants, 80 kinds of fish, amphibians, and reptiles, over 180 birds, and 55 mammals. Within 10 miles of Sedona you can also visit seven distinct biological communities.
