The new 1.7 mile Roundabout trail is mainly routed on easy to ride terrain. There are several short sections that transit though rocky terrain that beginner riders may walk. I would rate the trail as 80%-Beginner and 20% Intermediate. The easiest direction to ride the trail would be clockwise. The trail has great views to the north of Cockscomb, Doe Mountain and Boynton Canyon.

Access Info

Roundabout shares the same entrance as Outer Limits near the Lower Cultural Center parking lot at the southeast end. At the north end it intersects the Girdner trail.

      First third is pretty blown out exposing some intermediate jank, some with exposure. Had my kids walk a few sections for sure. Past that and it is a nice easy climb over to Girdner, which makes for a great technical climb back to the trailhead. Obviously the kids walked more of that section than Roundup.

      Good warmup with nice views. If ridden clockwise it's intermediate until Remnant trail...then smooths out for panaromic vistas of the major geologic icons of Sedona...wish it was another couple miles so it could be looped a few times for a recovery ride on easier singletrack with some nice flow.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
