All clear and tacky. Super fun section in either direction.

Went 1 week after Sedona arroyos and dry creeks were at maximum capacity. There was lots of evidence of the flooding with the trail washed down to bare rocks in much of the creek bed to huge sand deposits in others. Still beautiful, still a black trail with many advanced features that required me an average rider to dis mount.
