The trail is 1.3 miles long and has been considered one of the best trails in Sedona for lesser skilled intermediate riders to ride. The trail does have some technical sections that an intermediate rider may walk.

Since the trail connects with the Long Canyon trail which is also intermediate it makes for a good intermediate level ride for riders looking for a very scenic ride.

Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB 2 Rating: Obstacles exist. You may or may not be able to ride this solo. Support rider recommended.

Recommended to ride downhill east to west. Suspension and clearance needed. Some drops and technical sections.

      		 Connected to Deadman’s from long canyon. Super fun and flowy several easy drops with only one being noticeably deeper and worth being aware of.
