Land Owner
Lizard Tail runs from Sunrise to Sunset Point. It is the only black on the mountain so don’t be fooled by the rollable ribbon heading south from Sunset Point. About a mile and a half in the trail kicks it up a notch in exposure and technicality. A wet weather waterfall sprouts over the trail near the southern termination into the Shared Rim Trail.
Access Info

The hiker only signs refer to the trails that cross the lizard Trail.

I agree that with Trey, more fun from south to north, but the trail actually reminds me of some of the lesser known exposed trails in Sedona like Remnant where there's a ton of narrow rocky singletrack with some big rocks on the inside and some drop offs on the outside.

I would recommend starting it from sunrise towards sunset unless you love long steep rocky climbs. It will challenge you in either direction.
