Doe Mountain is a mesa to the west of town. It is accessed by the usual network of dirt roads and then a fairly steep, but short climb up to the flat top. It's covered with high brush with a few open spots. It is only a mile and a half or so around the rim, but the lack of clear spaces makes it hard to get back to the spot the trail descends from; especially after dark. If you go to shoot sunset like we did, it's always dark when you leave.

This is a view from the rim to the north. It is amazing how many beautiful red rock structures are packed into the Sedona area.

Here is the nearly full moon rising just before the sun sets behind us.

As is often the case, the clouds we were hoping would make the landscape a bit more interesting blocked the sun as it got down to the horizon. I like the grasping form of this tree. Maybe it's trying to hold the sun back?
