Sedona really is something else.

One of the times I went there was in the winter. They do snow shoe tours, I got there for sunrise in eeeeeearly January one year and it was epic. 2019 I think for that trip. Lemme see if I have some of the photos for easy sharing for you.

This place has balls.

It's all good! Keep up the awesome work. 😁

Thanks, amigo. I appreciate your clarifying that. My apologies for misunderstanding.

Oh I wasn't implying it was processed a lot, more so just making a joke about ray traced reflections in water in games. It's a dope pic.

This photo is actually minimally processed; I tweaked a few things, but this is basically how it looked SOOC.

What's up with those trees.

I live very close to here (Prescott) and can tell you 48 is a hidden gem! The entire northern half of the state is gorgeous. Sedona is just the tip of the iceberg!

I used to live below coffee pot rock in the late 90s. We used to drive out of Sedona towards the “city” of Cottonwood and half way in between, go down dirt roads to get high. Half of the time, the local cops wouldn’t notice and when they did, we all survived the experience of being discovered and got taken home.

That’s because it’s edited heavily.

I think I've been on that ledge with the gate. I didn't remember it having its flat top that low but it was 2 years ago. They allow drones in the state parks, but only in winter, and they want to shake you down for $10 for a day's license. I doubt anyone really gets caught for not paying.

RTX: ON

Hahah. Was there this morning!

I did a lot of other extremely cool and far less common stuff than the Inca Trail, although I did hike parts of that too, further north near Chachapoyas and Kuelap.

There is a lot to do and see in the region and I was working in Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia, mainly in rural or remote areas so I had a good opportunity to experience some interesting things.

Ever since December 8 2022, lots of roads and airports were closed due to political demonstrations in southern cities. Some of it has been cleared, but it's resumed in Lima - my friend arrived there one week ago and the roads across the mountains were shut down again, and buses weren't running. They had to take car rides along the back roads which took longer. I recall hearing more than once that Machu Picchu was closed and tourists were stranded as a result. The other comments describe the why and how, but getting around certain parts of Peru are somewhat difficult at the moment.

I highly recommend a DSLR or mirrorless camera if you do again. The dynamic range of the landscapes exceeds the capabilities of my D750 haha

Beautiful! Reminds me of my trip to the Cordillera Blanca in 2019 where I visited Llanganuco, Yungay and Pastoruri as well as the jungle region. After 8 trips to Peru I still want to go back for more!

I can't recommend his hike enough when the Fall colors are out. Amazing experience. 10/10 would recommend

It's definitely worth a decade of saying "yeah I've been to Peru....no I haven't been on the Inca trail" lol

Hey look. It's 10 miles west of Boston

You should see where that giraffes face is.

That whole region is spectacular.

Back in 2005 I spent most of the year between the Andes and the Amazon.

Didn’t get to Huayhuash, but did some hiking around Lagunas de Llanganuco, and a few other areas in the region.

Definitely recommend it.

Looks like a butt.
