Numbers reproduced as printed — including apparent errors

The official page prints "Trailhead Elevation: 1,659 ft." (Sedona sits near 4,400 ft) and "Time: 3.5 miles roundtrip." (a time given in miles). Both look like errors on the source page. This index reproduces sources rather than editing them, so the figures stand as printed, flagged here instead of silently corrected.
