Overview

The surface is smooth, wide, and easy the whole way.

Description

This is a useful connection from Oak Creek to Sedona. Though certainly nothing special, this is a good way for beginners to experience mountain biking in Sedona or a good way to connect the destination-worthy singletrack in the area.

Good route. Some beginners may find some areas a little difficult but there aren't many. More difficult if you start at the end of this route. 7mi — 1h 09m

Started at Courthouse Vista parking area and connected to the BRP via a northward jaunt up the Phone Trail. North to South is a great way to do it.

actually a fun easy ride in Sedona with some great views. It's nothing spectacular but if beginner or just wanting to get some easy miles in it's good 3.5mi

Riding the road on its own is pretty fun, especially coming down to the southern parking lot - smooth surface with fun rollers for getting some air.
