West Fork Trail. Sedona Arizona. 

This is one of my favorite hikes in Arizona. About 6 of my buddies and I would hike 6+ miles in past all the pools of water to an area where the canyon walls became so narrow you would have to swim to get pass it. We would then climb up a steep, slick muddy embankment that was oozing water in order to reach a short trail that ended under the base of a very tall cliff. Large pieces of sand stone rock had broken off the cliff due to erosion which we stacked up to make small "tables" and "chairs". The cliff above us had hundreds of Mud Swallow nests. Years ago you could park overnight in the parking lot as we always camped over night. One year I came back to my truck and there was a ticket on my windshield for $50.00 for parking overnight. There were no signs present anywhere to say you couldn't park overnight. I stopped in at the Forest Service Ranger Station to talk with the Rangers and register my complaint. Behind doors I could hear two Rangers discussing my complaint and one said "what, they didn't put up a no overnight parking sign." Then he said sorry, We can't help you here, you will have to sent your complaint to the National Forest Service in August, Georgia. At that point I knew it was a lost cause. I sent in a check for the $50.00 fine, plus a heated letter saying please use this $50.00 to make a proper sign that says no overnight parking. By the way, we always packed out our trash and never left one shoe!
