High Point

Starting from the Teacup Trailhead, you'll hop on some flowy and fun single track to climb up Teacup's high point, directly on the north side of Sugar Loaf. Continue east and descend Teacup towards Soldiers Pass. Hit the connector towards Jordan and climb up to the Devil's Kitchen Sink Hole. You'll catch the start of Grand Central to it's intersection with Ant Hill. Traverse around Ant Hill to keep things more tame, or take the option to climb to the top for a black diamond drop in. Hit the Grand Central descent and continue south to the Coyote connector towards Adobe Jack. Climb out of Adobe Jack and take the road back towards Posse Grounds for the festival or back towards Teacup.

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

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

Definitely agree this one leans more towards the black diamond side. There are some janky tech sections most people will be walking, as well as a gnarly hill or two. That being said, it is an amazing and unique trail, I personally loved it.

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!

Great climbing trail. Barely feels like a climb and has just enough flow and 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.

This trail is actually a blast coming downhill from Adobe Jack to Grand Central. Going up is a chill climb so either way great trail. Check out my edit of it on YouTube 'Coyote, Sedona, AZ'

I agree that this trail should be rated as a single Black diamond. Both ways it has sections intermediate riders will not clear and even some advanced riders. Still a good trail though! Views are incredible.

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.

This trail has no signage. Look for the Sugar Loaf Summit trail. Trail starts about 150ft to the west.

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

Idk about the current rating... I'd say 10% beginner, 40% intermediate, 35% advanced and 5% expert. While there are sections a more novice rider will enjoy, there is a long rocky tech section in the middle that is absolutely advanced at in a few spots, truly expert lines.

Nearby advanced rated Javelina/Jordan/Grand Central are all significantly easier and more enjoyable for an "intermediate" rider.

Rode it from Teacup to Javelina the next day. Some fun slickrock sections with an optional steep rock roll for pucker factor... Fun trail, some tough climbs with great views.

Trail Adobe Jack
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.

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!

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!

Trail Teacup
Totally agree with @ Tanman34! We took this from the parking lot at Little Elf to Jeep Road(in other words red marker to green marker on the Trailforks map). Very nice sort of techy uphill climb with some rewarding descents. Especially near the end there is a very nice fast and flowy descent. If you are planning on going to the Devil's Sinkhole, Soldiers Pass, Grand Central, Jordan Tr, or anywhere else in that general direction, then you have to turn left coming out of Teacup and go up Jeep Road till you see trail signs pointing you in the direction you want to go.

Beautiful trail! One of my favorites in Sedona. First mile or so is a smooth steady climb through the woods with swooping corners. The second half is typical Sedona tech
