My idea of social distancing involves finding a trail with few, if any, fellow bipeds to be encountered along the way. And, under normal circumstances, the Brins Mesa-Soldier Pass Loop, a gorgeous 5-mile advertisement for the splendors of Sedona, would most assuredly not qualify as a candidate for such solitude. It, after all, features such geologic wonders as the Seven Sacred Pools, Devil’s Kitchen sinkhole and views of Coffee Pot Rock, Mormon Canyon, Chimney Rock and Wilson Mountain. A jeep trail also runs nearby connecting to Soldier Pass trail, so there’s that. My only wish, wimpy but so be it, was that the rain would hold off for an hour or so.
