Attention CSCer's, I am responsible for the July Run of the Month and have chosen the Broken Arrow trail in Sedona. This trip offers the flexibility of camping overnight or enjoying the town of Sedona after the trail run. I plan on camping up there off of Schnebly Hill road Saturday night. Expect the weather to be in the 90's during the day and 60's - 70's in the evening.
The trail is about 3.5-4.0 miles long and takes about 2 hours depending on the amount of traffic on the trail which is used by the Pink jeep tour. If any of you have not been on this trail it is very scenic with lots of opportunities for some great pictures.
Meeting at 7:00am with a departure time of 7:15am will give us a few hours of highway travel to get there. If we can start the trail around 10:00am we should finish roughly around 12:30pm or so.
Once we are off the trail there are several options:
- For those not wanting to stay the night and camp, spending the afternoon in Sedona itself makes for a nice afternoon.
- There are other trails surrounding Sedona that can be wheeled.
- Find a camping spot and setup camp.
Details of event:
Date: July 20th - Saturday (we have the July monthly meeting the night before).
Time: 7:00am
Meeting Place: Chevron Gas station off I-17 and Carefree highway

What to expect:
Weather: http://www.weather.com/weather/wxclimatology/monthly/graph/USAZ0209
Trail info: http://hikearizona.com/decoder.php?ZTN=15998
For those that are interested in camping and may bring a trailer, you will have to consider leaving the trailer somewhere before running the trail. There is a parking area at the start of the trail where you could possible leave the trailer prior to hitting the trail but something to consider.
For those interested please post if you would be camping or not and if bringing a trailer or not so we can get a good idea of the inventory we are bringing.
This post is going up with 19 days before departure giving those interested plenty of time to plan.
Hope to see you there.
