Prepare yourself for smiles and fast flow This loop is great for any rider with its mild intro to Sedona tech and open stretches of single track where you can let off the brakes and just fly. Climb Snake from the shuttle drop to warm up and then make your way along Girdner towards Chuckwagon. The first mile and a half of this loop will provide the most challenging sections of singletrack - so don't get discouraged if you were hoping for more flow. You'll be treated to Mescal - likely the MOST scenic trail in Sedona. This trail traverses Mescal Mountain and lands you at Deadman's Pass and Aerie. These trails will return you to Cockscomb and Dawa and back to the Shuttle pick up.
