High Point

A great loop to get your feet wet and determine if you want to ride Hiline. Start off by taking Skywalker towards Old Post. Descend northward to the first Carrol Canyon Intersection (on the right). Take this towards Ridge and climb to the high point. Enjoy the view and catch your breath before you descend one of the best downhills in Sedona. Ridge will give you some flat out descending and some features that are chunky and steep (great to see how you might feel on Hiline which is steeper with more technical moves). Be ready for some spicy waterfall features. Cross the road to continue down Ridge where the terrain changes from dirt to slick rock with off-camber rock rolls and a final rowdy DH. Turn right up the road and hit Chavez Ranch Rd. Turn left to return to Old Post Trail and climb up to Skywalker. Head back to the Trailhead via Skywalker.
