Beginner 10%, intermediate 60% and advanced 30%, 1.66 mile MTB trail which is a bi-directional singletrack that is a twisty up and down trail with many technical uphill sections that will test a lesser skilled rider. The trail tread is mostly packed dirt mixed with rocks and a number of slickrock sections. There is no preferred direction but it is definitely easier in the downhill direction. The trail is a good connector for several other fun loops.

      Really struggled with hikers on this one. They were never ending. It’s too bad cause the trail is awesome but there seemed to be an elderly couple negotiating their way down every punchy little climb i came across.

      This has been one of my favorite trails in Sedona! Can be very technical in spots. Great views make the grind 100% worth it. Definitely would ride again!

      It is a slow Tech up and down for most of the time. A little bit of a grind but as you get to the other trails that it connects to it is worth it. Are usually ride it every time I come here. People go to encounter tons of hikers going both directions. I would say the trail is a little bit of intermediate more with a tiny bit of advanced points
