This was a fun quick hike up Battlement Mesa that left the busy Twin Buttes Trail behind. It was 2.4 miles round trip and took me 2.5 hours from the Broken Arrow Trailhead. Battlement Mesa is one of a series of mafic dikes throughout Sedona, feeding ancient volcanic activity 12 to 8 million years ago as part of the North Verde Volcanic Field.
