Sedona

Red slickrock singletrack among the buttes.

More than 250 miles of red rock singletrack wind between Sedona’s buttes, from the mellow Bell Rock Pathway to exposed slickrock on trails like Hiline. Most of it is on Coconino National Forest land, with rental shops and coffee in the Village of Oak Creek and West Sedona. It suits intermediate to expert riders, with a few easy loops for building confidence.
