Mountain Bike
This trail is best ridden west to east unless you like a serious climb. Either way, you'll be treated to some great scenery. Much of the trail is wide and covered with loose rocks. Where it narrows to true singltrack, it's really good. If traveleing from west to east, the descent into Wilson Canyon is a real scream. This trail can be combined with the north Sedona trail complex (Thunder Mountain/Teacup/Jordan) and Huckaby (cross 89a under Midgley Bridge) for a real epic. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
