Rode southbound, loved it! It keeps you guessing as to what's next... here's a chute with big rock steps, and now some smooth bermed flow, and then throw in more rock fun and more berms. Plus a couple climbs to keep you honest.

There's actually an alt "more difficult" climb (stay left at the fork). I went right and took the switchback. I like climbs, this one was ok, lots of loose golf ball to baseball sized rocks to lose momentum on. The part after the climb was pretty nice, though.

I rode this clockwise. Counter would not be fun. I rode up Raptor, which was a fun ride up. Thumper is a great blue.tral with a couple of black sections. It's not all downhill, there is a tough uphill section out of the riverbed. The tough sections are super fun with some optional drop and chunky lines. Everything can be rode around.

This trail is optimized in a clockwise direction. I ride here often and it pains me to find so my first timers somehow getting this via also.climbing up lime kiln which too is the wrong direction for anyone except people who want to suffer. If you are planning on riding here start either by climbing lower bones or if ya want to get to the asap lower bones. Adding upper bones from the connector to upper raptor and the down thumper,lime kiln etc you are going to be smiling. This ride will be a tonic to when Sedona trails are too crowded.

Definitely more difficult than the adjacent blues.
Fun drops but always a safe way around.
