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!

Absolutely — here’s a more naturally worded and well-punctuated version of your review, while still keeping it professional and heartfelt:
A Genuine Thank You to Troyhacks Cyber Security – £218,000 Recovered in Just 72 Hours
I never thought I’d be writing something like this — especially not after losing £218,000 worth of Bitcoin to an investment scam. It was one of the most devastating experiences I’ve ever gone through. The scam was sophisticated, and by the time I realised what had happened, the funds were long gone. I felt helpless, embarrassed, and honestly didn’t know where to turn.
Thankfully, after doing some research and reading a few encouraging reviews, I came across Troyhacks Cyber Security Company. Reaching out to them was the best decision I could have made.
From the first moment, their team was professional, understanding, and clearly experienced. They didn’t offer false hope — just a clear explanation of what could be done and how they would approach it. What truly amazed me was how quickly they worked. In just 72 hours, they successfully recovered the full amount I had lost.
Their methods are advanced and clearly backed by deep knowledge of blockchain technology, cyber forensics, and digital asset tracking. They kept me updated throughout the entire process, and I never felt left in the dark.
I honestly can’t thank them enough. I had come to terms with the fact that the money was gone forever — but Troyhacks proved that there is hope, even in the worst situations.
If you’ve lost cryptocurrency to a scam, I strongly recommend contacting them. They are professional, discreet, and — most importantly — effective.
You can reach them directly at: [Troyhacks@cyberservices.com]
To the entire team at Troyhacks: thank you for giving me peace of mind and helping me reclaim what I thought was lost forever.

It all started with an email. It looked legitimate like it came from my bank. Same logos, same tone, same formatting. But within 24 hours, I realized I had fallen victim to a sophisticated phishing scam. I watched in horror as $239,000 was drained from my investment account nearly my entire life savings. I was devastated. I contacted my bank immediately, but they told me that once the transaction was confirmed on the blockchain, it was irreversible. That’s when the panic truly set in. I filed a police report and even contacted a few cybersecurity consultants, but they all told me the same thing: there was nothing they could do. Then I found Malice Cyber Recovery. I was skeptical at first. Most people say crypto and digital fund recovery is impossible. But from the first interaction, Malice stood out. They were professional, responsive, and most importantly realistic. They didn’t make wild promises. Instead, they carefully reviewed the transaction, analyzed the addresses involved, and laid out a step-by-step plan. What impressed me most was their transparency. I was assigned a recovery agent who kept me updated regularly, explaining how they were tracking the movement of my stolen funds across wallets and exchanges. Within just over three weeks, I got the message I never thought I’d see: “We’ve recovered the funds.” And sure enough, $239,000 was safely transferred back into my secured wallet. Every dollar accounted for. Malice Cyber Recovery gave me more than just my money back they gave me peace of mind. I now have better digital security practices in place, and I owe it all to their team. If you’ve been a victim of cyber theft or crypto scams, don’t give up. I’m living proof that there’s still hope and Malice Cyber Recovery is the team to call.
