The Tea Cup trailhead was a 5 minute walk from our Airbnb. This trail hooks up with a whole system of trails through West Sedona. Coffee Pot Rock (the leftmost pillar of this photo) is the rock for which the neighborhood we were staying in was named (The Coffee Pot neighborhood)

DAY 2: Devil's Kitchen
Tea Cup Trail hooks up with Solidier's Pass Trail. The first stopping point on that trail is Devil's Kitchen, Arizona's largest sinkhole at 150ft wide and 50ft deep. The last collapse, which accounts for 40% of the width, occurred in 1989.
DAY 2: Near the Seven Sacred Pools

DAY 2: Solider's Pass Cave
Climbing up into the cave.
A quick side trek from the Solider's Pass Trail is this two-story cave, which is accessible via a steep crack along the side of one of the double exterior arches. You can see Jeff below one of the arches, and Trevor is in the back on a ledge above the second arch.
DAY 2: Soldier's Pass Cave
Hannah & Trevor is a spot suspended between the two arches.
DAY 3: Boynton Canyon Vortex
This is one of many vortexes in Sedona. The Boynton Canyon Vortex puported to have a balance between masculine and feminine energy, which might be because it is located between a rock formation named Kachina Woman and another knoll (which is thought to contain more masculine energy.)
DAY 3: Boynton Canyon Hike
Clouds rolled in keeping our hike through Boynton Canyon nice and cool. The majority of the hike is on a well worn sandy path in the wash of the Canyon.
DAY 3: Subway Cave
It took a bit of back-and-forth to find the cut off for the trail to this cave, but it was so worth it! From this angle it is quite clear how the cave got its name. To get into the cave, you have to climb up a steep slide rock, which is just at the end of the shorter flat rock in the center of this picture.
DAY 3: Subway Cave
