Fast terrain, mild tech, and open stretches where you can fly make this loop great for any rider. Climb Snake from the shuttle and connect Girdner towards Chuckwagon to warm up. The first mile and a half of this loop are the most challenging sections of singletrack - so don't get discouraged. Mescal delivers. Likely the MOST scenic trail in Sedona, Mescal traverses fun terrain and lands you at Deadman's Pass and Aerie. More fast and rowdy descending Return to the Shuttle via Dawa and AZ Cypress.
