Distance 15+ miles // Elevation 1,500+ feet

NOTE: Sedona miles are no ordinary miles! Due to the combination of rugged terrain, rocky technical sections, and frequent elevation changes, a single mile in Sedona can feel like 1.5–2 miles elsewhere. The term is a nod to the extra effort required to navigate the challenging trails, particularly when the climbs are steep, the rocks are chunky, and the descents demand precision. You should be prepared for these “extra tough” miles and pace yourself accordingly.

ROUTE DESCRIPTION
Things get a little more kicked up in the Village of Oak Creek. This is probably the most popular intermediate trail system in Sedona. We will start on Slim Shady, then hit Templeton to Cathedral Rock, down to Easy Breezy. Then we will loop under the highway and connect to another trail system to do the Hog Trails and Broken Arrow to Chicken Point.

Slim Shady starts off with the type of chunk that you will see throughout Sedona with lots of rocks and step-ups that you have to keep lifting your front tire over and over and over. It is a full body experience. Templeton eases up on the chunk and takes us to Cathedral Rock (one of the most popular hikes in Sedona) where we will drop down slick rock to Easy Breezy. Easy Breezy is a twisty fun ride through the trees and will take use to HT to connect under the road to the Hog Trails and Broken Arrow.
