Parking at the south trailhead is extremely limited. It is worth looking for parking at the Posse Grounds park and riding the roads to the south trailhead. Another good way to use this loop is by parking and starting at the Jim Thomson Trailhead and using the Jordan Trail to connect.

Overview

A flowy, bermed, well-built trail that feels very new-school compared to the much rockier trails in most of Sedona. It lacks the grand vistas of other trails in Sedona, but it's a super-fun ride.

Description

You can ride either Adobe Jack or Grand Central as out-and-back, however making a loop out of them is super fun. The trail winds around on the natural contours and dips in and out of small washes and forest. On the lower portions, it gets a little rougher and rockier, but it still remains intermediate difficulty.

The upper section of Grand Central is mellow - a good way to pedal up to access Adobe Jack or Javelina.

Adobe Jack trail. Fun, fast and flowy with a few technical spots.

Fun mix of short punchy climbs, one-foot drops, multiple lines, and a little flow. Excellent signage.
