We stopped in Flagstaff to geocache and get groceries.  While in Safeway we met Marge, a National Park Ranger (identifiable by her sweet green uniform….I want to be a ranger for Halloween!), who tipped us off about Walnut Canyon.  We didn’t plan to stop here, but we are glad we did.  The canyon has a steep 1 mile descent and then a  winding trail around and through the rocky cliffs.  Visible on both sides of the canyon are ruins from a former culture of people who must have been hearty indeed.
