High Point

An intermediate loop that is the perfect length for testing a demo bike. Starting from the Adobe Jack Trailhead, located on the north side of Hwy 89A, Adobe Jack trends upward as you climb moderate terrain towards Jordan Trail and the Devil's Kitchen Sinkhole. Follow Jordan eastward through more rolling terrain with rocky climbs and descents. Turn south when you reach Javelina to descend some fast single track. Javelina has some slightly technical sections, but most intermediate riders should have no problem. Climb Crusty back to Adobe Jack and out to the Trailhead.

Great trail but needs more signage. I got a bit lost before the turnoff to Javalena and accidentally ended up on Power Line Plunge.

I've ridden this only in the downhill (north to south) direction. What a gas! A fast trail with tight turns and rock drops with occasional short ups.

Trail Javelina
Agree, definitely ride downhill. I love long steep climbs, but no one flying down this is going to yield the way, because it's probably one of the few downhill type trails in the area. On that note, definitely not the best for scenery or slickrock or other Sedona highlights (for example, only trail I've ridden with powerlines next to the trail most of the way). Good for flying down if a local or renting a bike, probably not best use of time if just visiting and want full value.
PS Watch for that one sharp left turn on soft red dirt, very easy to fly off the trail.

Trail Adobe Jack
Rode Adobe from the parking lot straight to Soldier pass intersection. The beginning of the trail has some technical climbs and drops that might required a little push. After a quarter mile, trail gets flowy and fun. Along the way you have some impressive views, make sure you stop for that memory pic. Soldier pass is the destination

This is a real fun climb to get back to Adobe Jack for a second DH run down Javelina, Grand Central, or P Plunge. A little bit of steep stuff, some tech, and just overall a real cool climb that doesn't wear you out.

Rode this from Adobe Jack to Javelina. Such cool slickrock to ride on, with some fun rock rolls and a little bit of chunk to make for a really good trail! This trail system has a little bit of everything.

This is an incredibly fun and easy climb for what you get going down Grand Central or Javelina. If you can put down some watts, you can go 15 mph+ on the last portion of the climb! Also, the flow and short techy bits would make a spectacular DH in itself. Woooohoooo.

Such a cool trail! Not as good as Javelina, but still incredibly shreddy and really fast. Some really fun tech, and a short climb at the very beginning of the trail to the top of the Ant Hill. So fun!

So bloody fun! Please ride DH, you don't want to encounter a good downhiller while going up this trail, you'll collide for sure. Such a shreddy trail going down though, with tons of fun tech!

Super fun flow trail with enough rocks to keep it interesting. This is my favorite trail in the Adobe Jack area, and the climb is very easy for the descent you get.

I'll mirror the other comments. This is a properly built trail with good flow, some really fast sections, and a bit of tech here and there. Top 5 in Sedona for me.

Have rode a few times now and this trail has good uphill flow(South to North). Great way to get back up to the downhill oriented(North to South) Grand Central, Jevelina etc.

Trail Grand Central
The top of Grand Central has one of the best views for the relatively tame climb. And one of the best descents in central Sedona! If you're only doing one climb, I'd choose Grand Central over Javelina. I included GC in my 10 best trails in Sedona roundup! twowheeledwanderer.com/posts/best-trails-in-sedona

Rode it from red to green after going from Devil's Kitchen >> Jordan >> Javelina and was pleasantly surprised by the speed and flow in this direction. I was expecting to "climb" back up to Soldier's Pass but it's one of those trails where you don't really feel the elevation gain because it's up and down with good flow the whole way. Definitely intermediate and definitely a fun rip in either direction.

Super fun flowy rip going down. Fast, loose and skinny. No real notable challenges/obstacles other than the loose corners, more of a blue trail and def underrated IMHO.

Puts you right at the exit of Grand Central. If you want to get on AZ 89A, then there is a trail that leads up to the right(stick to the right coming out of Javelina OR Grand CentralWink ) of a dried out creek bed(uphill). Take that and you will arrive at your destination, AZ 89 A.

There is also a nice kicker ramp made out of a log near the beginning slick rock part of the trail. Very smooth transition with an excellent landing and beautiful catch-berm!

I really enjoyed this trail going down. Tons of fun as you hit some of the bermed switchbacks on loose rocks. Fast and flowy with some tech. Honestly, one of our favorite trails. HIGHLY RECOMMEND AS A DOWNHILL TRAIL.

Trail Jordan
Took Jordan as a connecting trail from Teacup->Javelina. Very fun! Mostly downhill that way. Short slick rock at the beginning. Some easily walk able technical rock-rollers heading down. Some switchbacks leading up to short steep-ish climbs. Few logs. Leads up to the split between Javelina and Jordan rather high up in terms of elevation and a fantastic view! To be honest, all the climbs in Sedona are well worth it between the views and the downhill trail(s) following, even if you walk them!
