I went on a hike with friends in Sedona and it was short, but vertical.  About halfway up, I'm like 'fuck this noise' and went back to the trail head, found another horizontal hike, and enjoyed myself.

Meanwhile, 2 of my friends struggle getting out of their chair these last 2 days. 

That was their choice.  I feel smart for knowing my limits, lol.

We did the Devil's Bridge hike in Sedona.  I could've gone for a lot less people, but that's what we get for doing the famous, "touristy" one.  Given my severe physical impediments, it was way more than I should've been trying to bite off, but as long as you stay hydrated it's a pretty easy stint for a regular person, I'd think.  I loaded up on every pain med I could get a prescription for plus a steroid pack and did the thing basically high, lol.  Two different nerve pain pills, a highly controlled narcotic, and the standard prednisone pack.  

Can't live like that, but it was worth it for a half-day jaunt.  All the swirling colors of the gorgeous landscape.....coulda been real, coulda been hallucinations....fortunately we took lots of pictures which indicate it was indeed beautiful.

Not really.

The bad back surgery back in 2013 limits my ability to hike - my leg is half dead, and I have little feeling in my left foot. Can't hike but I still like to see things.

I've seen equestrian only trails. In order to properly conquer the west, you'd need a horse, a boat, an ATV/dirt bike, a snowmobile, skis, a pickup truck with a nice camper shell, and something to haul it all in. Probably forgetting a few things.

Just have the horse carry you and your golf clubs around the course.

Being able to walk over 70 is a real blessing, and by "walk" I mean a mile or more, just walking.  One's quality of life drops a lot when that goes away.

I'll be walking too much this afternoon looking for my golf ball in the hills with 99 degree heat and wind
