Description

Fast, fun, flowing, and superb scenery right below the Courthouse Butte and Bell Rock. There is one small technical section in the southwest corner (near the start of the ride as mapped) where the trail goes in and out of a wash. No problem for intermediates, and beginners can easily walk this section and enjoy the rest. The far northeast corner has a beautiful slickrock area that is fun to play around in.

This makes a great introduction to Sedona biking and can easily be connected to other rides and trails by using the Bell Rock Trail.

Parking gets very crowded here!

Locals call it a beginner trail. Coming from Midwest riding, I thought it was still pretty tough.
