We wanted to visit Bearizona for some time and this weekend seems to be the right time. The weather is perfect we found our ideal AirBnB, a place with an alpaca herd and there are also other interesting places nearby. For example to our surprise we found an abandoned railroad tunnel nearby and a place, easily accesible with petroglyphs. So we pack our car, reserve the AirBnB and on we go for a great weekend out at higher altitudes.

  • Skunk Canyon via the Flagstaff Loop Trail
    We start our trip with an exploration of Skunk Canyon on a nice section of the Flagstaff Loop Trail seeing birds finding caches and enjoying the great weather
  • An AirBnB with alpacas, my oh my
    For this trip we have chosen the AirBnB for a specific feature, it has a herd of alpacas that you can visit and that is what we do on Sunday morning
  • Rod’s Winter Camp we presume
    We start the exploration of the area with Rod’s Winter Camp an unexpectedly interesting ruined camp in the middle of nowhere
  • Exploring an unknown abandoned railroad tunnel
    Our biggest exploration today is along an abandoned section of the BNSF railroad that includes old bridges and a very interesting tunnel that can be passed through
  • Bearizona finally
    We were quite curious about Bearizona for years and today we finally were able to visit it and see the collection of animals amassed across the years
  • Williams lunch and Kaibab Lake walk
    After Bearizona it is time for lunch and then a leisurely walk around Kaibab Lake with nice views and lots of fishermen and -women
  • Keyhole Sink, a special prehistoric place
    Last stop on our trip is at Keyhole Sink a beautiful sink with petroglyphs and even a waterfall in season
