The 1.97 mile Adobe Jack trail starts at the south end at the Adobe Jack parking lot and the north end at the Jordan trail near the popular Sink Hole. The estimated mountain bike skill rating for Adobe Jack is: Beginner-35%, Intermediate-60%, Advanced-4%, Expert-1%. The trail has numerous narrow climbing sections that an advanced intermediate rider may have to walk. The routing of the trail takes you through several dry wash sections that makes the route fun to ride. This trail is the west part of a loop that can take you around the whole Soldier Wash area. The most fun direction to ride Adobe Jack is north to south, but if you are going to do a BIG Soldier's Wash loop by including Jordan, Javelina and Crusy2, I think riding south to north on Adobe Jack is more enjoyable.

Access Info

Direct access to the south end of Adobe Jack is from the Adobe Jack trailhead. The north end of the Adobe Jack trail can be accessed from the Soldier's Wash trailhead.

      Rode it from Soldiers Pass down to the Ambiente Hotel traihead. If you’re an intermediate rider, this is possibly one of the most fun trails in Sedona. It flows well and has a bit of everything without being too crazy. The only really challenging section will be going down/up the last dry creek before you get to the hotel. It feels like a true blue trail. Most of Sedona’s blue trails are peppered with too many black diamond sections that rob flow and momentum out of the ride.

      Rode Adobe from the parking lot straight to Soldier pass intersection. The beginning of the trail has some technical climbs and drops that might required a little push. After a quarter mile, trail gets flowy and fun. Along the way you have some impressive views, make sure you stop for that memory pic. Soldier pass is the destination
      brahhh brahhh
      This is an incredibly fun and easy climb for what you get going down Grand Central or Javelina. If you can put down some watts, you can go 15 mph+ on the last portion of the climb! Also, the flow and short techy bits would make a spectacular DH in itself. Woooohoooo.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
