This is an incredibly popular multi use trail and has loads of hikers/walkers. It is best to avoid riding on this trail during busy times as your ride will be less fun due to heavy hiking/walking traffic. Remember to give hikers the right of way.

The Bell Rock Path is really the only true green beginner ride in Sedona. It is essentially a wide walking path that cruises the valley floor through some incredible scenery and passes both the Cathedral and Bell Rock Votex's.

Nice 5k out and back with beautiful 360* views. We had some rain but were prepared for it, rocks got slick, and ground got muddy. Trail was well marked with signs and white arrows on the ground
