Intermediate 20 %, advanced 70% and expert 10%, .68 mile MTB trail which is a bi-directional singletrack that is a fast twisty bermed trail with feathers designed for the airborne crowd, There is a 3’ high diving board with a 20’ slab rock landing zone, several other jumps where you become airborne and a table top near the end that needs to be looked at before hit too aggressively. The trail tread is mostly packed dirt and there are sections built on solid rock through several drainages. The preferred direction definitely downhill due to fast moving downhill riders, but some riders ride it uphill so beware when riding it.

      Wow. There's a reason this is rated a five. But I would say if you're not ready for little jumps then definitely don't come here. This does make riding hog wash worth it. It is a short trial but all downhill with steep sections flow jumps etc. This is what Sedona needs way more of everywhere. Definitely one way direction trail. Do not write it up the other way You will hit into somebody blind corners.
