Description

Airport Loop South climbs steadily from Bandit trail. The route is challenging with several rocky sections to navigate. As the trail comes to Tabletop, it levels out and has great views of the Oak Creek Valley.

From Tabletop, Airport Loop South traverses the southeastern edge of the Sedona Airport. The route is up and down with a steady dose of rocks all the way to the Brewer trail intersection. Stay left to connect Airport Loop North back to Bandit.

Riding east-west on the south side of Airport Loop. Cacti and babyheads aplenty! Great views of Courthouse Butte, Bell and Cathedral Rock (left background).

You know there are trails where you get into flow? This is not one of those! Lots of big rock, became a hike with a bike to lean on. Don't bother — 1h 27m

I will NEVER go on this trail again, no matter my mode of transportation. This is by far the worst trail in Sedona. 3.3mi
