A couple friends and I drove down to the Verde Valley on Saturday afternoon. I met a new friend who works for the Coconino National Forest so she rents a cabin out there. It is within minutes of Beaver Creek, the Bell Trail, and Montezuma’s Well. It was a great little two-day getaway. In the afternoon we hiked a portion of the Bell Trail, taking time to explore the creek area. Once the sun set we made dinner in the quirky little cabin kitchen, fried veggies, roasted beets and sweet potatoes, and brown rice. The next morning we walked to the petroglyphs and meandered around Montezuma’s Well.
