Hiking the Vortexes is the most practical, up-to-date guide to reveal the locations of Sedona's vortexes and power spots. It is printed in the USA (not China or South Korea) and was updated in June 2023. It contains background information on vortexes and a master map to their locations. Individual detailed maps complete with GPS waypoints make it easy to drive to the parking areas for each of Sedona's four main vortexes. After you park, individual trail maps (based on actual GPS tracks) and beautiful photographs guide you to these four well-known vortexes. As an added bonus, ten other "power spots" where vortex energy has been discovered are identified and directions to each are included. The authors are avid Sedona hikers who have interviewed locals and visitor alike and who have hiked many times to each of the 14 vortex locations included in this work. If you want to find the best-known and least-known Sedona vortexes, and have a chance to experience their magic and power, this book is for you.
Author Biography
William was born in Michigan, moved to Sedona in 2002 and began hiking the Sedona trails shortly thereafter. On these hikes he took numerous photos and trail notes and in 2005, started the website, Great Sedona Hikes (http: //greatsedonahikes.com) as a way to easily share the photos and notes with his fellow hikers. David was born in Ohio and moved to Sedona in 2003. After moving to Sedona, he began hiking with a local hiking group. He is an enthusiastic photographer, and he and his wife Ruth have hiked over 100 trails and all the vortex sites in the Sedona area. Over the years, both William and David have noted certain places that promoted feelings of enlightenment and peace. They documented these locations by sketch, GPS data and photographs. They have interviewed visitors and locals regarding these "power spots" and identified the spots most often cited as areas where vortex energy was experienced. These are the vortex locations included in this book.
