High Point

Intermediate level ride featuring some great singletrack in the west end of Sedona. These are some "must do" trails while visiting

This ride is mostly short ups and downs, rolling terrain, very swoopy and some flow, but still rocky enough to keep you honest. Watch out for hikers at the start of Chuck Wagon, but after a few miles it isn't an issue. Mescal trail features a long slick rock shelf with spectacular views, definitely worth a stop to soak in the views. Aerie and Cockscomb trails offer great views of Fay Canyon, Bear Mountain, Cockscomb Rock, and Doe Mountain.
