Lots of you have been asking for the details on my most recent trip to Arizona to visit the Grand Canyon. I've put together some tips & tricks I learned along the way to help you plan your adventure!
A couple of quick tips when you get to Arizona:
- Don't rent a cheap rental car. I rented a car for $440 for 7 days, through wisecars.com and I would never recommend them again. When I arrived at the rental car garage from the shuttle, there was a VERY long line of people, and yes, of course it was the line that I was going to have to get my rental car. Turns out they had over committed and rented a lot of cheap cars. We were just waiting for people to drop off their cars so they could quickly clean and rent them out again. After waiting 90 minutes (and it was about 10:30 pm) I jumped ship and walked over and rented a car from budget rentals for $300 more. Thankfully wisecars refunded me.
- Be mindful of the weather. I went towards the end of March - please be mindful that Arizona weather is a bit all over the place. In Phoenix, it was warm and breezy, but when I drove to Prescott that night, it was sleeting/snowing. So, do your research on what the weather will be like before you go!
- If you do plan on hiking, take the opportunity to visit the grocery store and buy a lot of snacks and bottled water. I spent $100 on lunch, plenty of gluten free snacks including rice cakes, bars, and bottled water. I'm so glad I did this because during my hiking days, I actually barely made it back to the hotel in time for dinner. I saved a lot of money on food, some days I had gas station food or what I had in my car for my meals. I also pre-packed bags of protein for my trip and drank one every morning!
Okay now on to the good stuff :) Hiking.
I did a little research the morning of for best places to hike, and I always love a challenge. I chose to do the Bear Mountain Trail Hike. It is about 15 minutes from downtown Sedona located in the Doe Mountain Trail Parking lot which should be easy to GPS to. It is a $5 parking fee and they take credit cards.
- Pro Tip: Not a lot of people realize this, but the Bear Mountain Hike is actually across the street from the Doe Mountain Trail. Several people told me that they hiked Doe mountain and then realized they weren't on the right mountain.
This is a strenuous 5 mile hike (or in my case, 6 mile), and I strongly recommend wearing hiking boots. Make sure you pack snacks (especially salty snacks), and plenty of water because this hike will take about 4-5 hours. I experienced many different weather scenarios while up there, so if you're visiting during off season, definitely bring a warm jacket/gloves. It became very hot on certain sides of the mountain and other times-I couldn't feel my fingers.
The terrain starts out as just a dirt trail, and at the end of that trail, you will start to climb about 2,000 feet within 2 miles. So get ready to sweat! This is where I made the mistake of taking a trail that went to the left. I followed that for about a half a mile before realizing I wasn't on the right path and ran out of trail, so I had to turn around. Pro tip: Make sure you follow the white markers painted on the rocks. Something I failed to realize when I hiked the wrong direction!
This hike sure was a workout! Just when I thought I was done, I realized there was more to hike. There was one beautiful view after another, so if you get exhausted , you can easily turn around and feel just as satisfied that you saw those first stunning views.
I had to hurry on back on my way down before sundown. The sun set around 6:30 pm, and I got back to my car around 6:45. I started the hike around 1:00 pm. If you can handle tough trails, I would highly recommend this one! But, there are plenty in the area with gorgeous views. Some of my Plan B trails were: Wet Beaver Creek Trail - 7 miles, Sedona Subway Cave Hike - 6.1 miles, or Cathedral Rock Trail - 2.4 miles.
I read about Elote Cafe on another blog, so I looked at their menu before I went hiking. I saw a photo of their lamb shank - and that's all I wanted after my hike! After checking into the hotel and changing, I made it to Elote at 8:00 pm, and quickly realized it was spring break week for many visitors, so they were booked out for a month - even for takeout! I was so disappointed, but obviously this place must be good, and if I ever get a chance to go back, hopefully I'll be able to make a reservation to this place. They recommended I go to a place down the street called The Vault. I ordered a Cauliflower crust pizza, Tacos and a Margarita and it was all delicious!
Day 1 in Sedona was wonderful! I ended up walking over 7.1 miles, and of course I was exhausted. I went straight to bed so I could wake up early for my helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon. Stay tuned for Day 2 - coming soon!

On March 2025, my life took a devastating turn when I discovered that I had fallen victim to a fraudulent real estate investment scheme orchestrated by a group known as Woodbridge. They had lured me in with the enticing promise of 20% returns on my investment, a figure that seemed too good to be true but was hard to resist as a retiree looking to secure my financial future. I invested my entire $300,000 retirement savings, believing I was making a wise decision for my family and myself. Everything appeared legitimate. Woodbridge presented itself as a reputable real estate investment opportunity, complete with impressive marketing materials and testimonials from supposed satisfied investors. I felt reassured by the glossy brochures and the promises of financial security. However, as time went on, the reality began to unravel. I soon learned that Woodbridge was not investing in real estate as they had claimed. Instead, they were using the funds from new investors to pay off earlier investors, a classic Ponzi scheme that ultimately led to the collapse of the entire operation.When the scheme fell apart, I was left grappling with the harsh reality of losing my life savings. The emotional toll was immense, as I watched my dreams of a secure retirement slip away. It was during this dark time that I discovered GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES , a firm dedicated to helping victims like me recover funds lost to fraudulent schemes. Their commitment to uncovering the truth and assisting those affected by financial fraud gave me a glimmer of hope.GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES took on the daunting task of tracing the money trail left by Woodbridge. They revealed that my hard-earned savings had been funneled into luxury real estate properties in Los Angeles, which was shocking to learn. With the evidence they gathered, GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES worked closely with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to initiate recovery efforts. Their expertise in navigating the complexities of financial fraud proved invaluable.Thanks to GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES diligent efforts, I was not only able to recover a portion of my lost investments but ultimately recovered everything I had lost. This incredible outcome provided immense relief amidst the turmoil and restored my faith in the possibility of justice. This experience has taught me the importance of due diligence and skepticism when it comes to investment opportunities, especially those that promise unusually high returns. While the road to recovery was long and fraught with challenges, I am profoundly grateful for the support of GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES . Their dedication to helping victims like me serves as a beacon of hope, reminding us that recovery is possible even in the aftermath of scams. I now feel empowered to share my story, hoping to raise awareness and protect others from falling into similar traps.You can reach them on whatsapp +18582759508 web at ( https://graywaretechservices.com/ ) also on Mail: (contact@graywaretechservices.com)

I had lost all hope after being scammed out of my entire life savings $140,000 USD in a fake USDT investment scheme. It was one of those too good to be true opportunities, I’d stumbled upon through a seemingly professional Telegram channel. The setup was convincing, the returns were promised, and like many others desperate for financial freedom, I fell for it. But when it came time to withdraw my profits, the excuses began. Then silence. My funds were gone. In desperation, I turned to online forums, trying to find others like me or perhaps a way to recover what I had lost. That’s when I encountered so-called recovery experts. One after another, they made promises, asked for upfront payments, and vanished each one compounding the sense of betrayal and despair. I was emotionally drained and ashamed, until one late night, buried deep in a cybersecurity forum thread, I saw a comment about something called the Alpha Spy Nest. The name was odd, but what caught my eye was how other users vouched for them, people who shared stories eerily similar to mine. Cautiously, I reached out. Unlike others, they didn’t make promises; instead, they asked for detailed documentation, transaction IDs, and communication logs. Their methods were technical and calculated, nothing like the flashy guarantees I’d seen before. Over the span of a few Hours, they traced blockchain transactions, uncovered a pattern, and ultimately identified the exit wallets used by the scammers. Through legal partnerships and backchannel coordination with crypto exchanges, Alpha Spy Nest managed to freeze and reclaim a significant portion of the stolen funds. When $120,000 returned to my wallet, I cried for the first time in years not out of sadness, but relief. The Alpha Spy Nest didn’t just recover my money; they restored my faith in justice, and also in the internet, just a little. I made a promise to also let the world know how good and legit Alpha Spy Nest seems by sharing my testimony online.
