PHOTOSHOOT | TOAD AND CO. | SEDONA, AZ
ABOUT THE PROJECT
In partnership with TOAD AND CO., we headed to the beautiful red rocks of Sedona to play its part as the backdrop for the Fall 2017 lineup. The setting played a huge role in balancing the colors of this years wardrobe and the pooch played her role balancing out all of the worries of the world.

Banjo Bill Picnic Area is a lush, beautiful location with a flowing ribbon of water that blends in with the neighboring Oak Creek Canyon rocks and buttes. You could spend an entire day hopping from one activity to the next on the grounds since they are so varied. Bring a hammock, read a book, bring the taco kit and cerveza; do anything you want in one of Arizona's most beautiful places.
Hiking through a natural environment is more effective than simply taking a stroll through the city. While any sort of walking certainly has physical health benefits, walking through nature has the addition of mental health benefits. Hiking in a countryside environment offers increased mental benefits over walking through built-up areas. In addition, hiking seems to reduce the effect of the part of your brain that brings about bad moods.
Cookstove Trail is a 1 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Sedona, Arizona that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, nature trips, and bird watching and is best used from April until November. It is a less-traveled short jaunt up a gorgeous, but steep trail with sick views down Oak Creek Canyon looking towards Sedona offering a rare solitude in this area.
This is the true beast hike of the Superstitions. If you think Flatiron is a toughy, give this a whirl! You will be poked, prodded, slapped, smacked, jolted, tripped and stabbed the entire way, but rewarded with arguably the finest sights the valley of the sun has to offer: the entire Superstition Ridgeline, Flatiron and the sprawling city to your west, Gold Canyon and Hieroglyphics to the South, the rugged landscape of the Supes to the East, and both Weavers Needle and Four Peaks to the North among many, many other features.
