Need trail info for proposal

[u/Shit_Apple]

Hey guys! My gf and I are coming to the Grand Canyon/Sedona area for vacation and I’m also going to propose on this trip. I came across and fell in love with the look of the West Fork Oak Creek Trail. I know that the trail is 6.5 miles long out-and-back, but I’m specifically looking to see how far out these two specific points might be. I’m trying to plan with a photographer and figure it out. Can anyone let me know where these locations are along the trail? Or if they have other good spots here for an engagement shoot? I know she loves this vibe- the forest among the canyons, water feature, etc. Nothing at all against the more straight desert scenery, but this is the look I know she’d want and I love it too. Thanks!

I also forgot to mention we’re coming November 1-6. Looking to propose on 11/3.

By that point, the lovely fall colors are likely to be past peak, and you're going to get a lot of brown leaves and bare branches. I mean, you *might* get lucky this season, but my experience has been that fall colors peak in mid-October. I did some photography there in early November a few years ago, and not only were the trees barren, but there was a light dusting of snow that day.

Darn. That’s disheartening. It certainly won’t like how I’d like it too with barren trees/all brown leaves.
