As the park is mostly blazing white sand dunes, there is not much hiking and only one road into the park. The 5 mile Alkali Flats trl is at the end of the 5 mile road and we had to do it. It is rated difficult because, well, have you ever walked across sand dunes....in the wind?? Wouldn't do it again but it was amazing!

| we will have sand in our shoes for a long time;) |

| no, those are not clouds but blowing sand |
 |
| look at the sand blowing off the ridge |
 |
| awesome day, time to go shower the sand out of our eyes, ears, nose, mouth....... |
Looks like you needed goggles for this hike! Hans and I could use a good hike in all that sand...maybe that would remove all the fine pink dust embedded in our shoes from Sedona!
