Set amongst towering sandstone cliffs, calming metaphysical energy, and natural red rock, Sedona is one of Arizona’s most popular destinations. From its rich history and colorful spirit, Sedona captures and enchants the visitor.

For the mountain biker, it’s a religious experience, the final destination of a long journey that culminates in trails ranging from flowing, big-ring singletrack to white-knuckle, sphincter-clenching, cliff-riding insanity.

The trails east of town feature a lot of rocks, slickrock, loose rock, steep climbs, killer ascents, behemoth ledge drops and tight, technical switchbacks. Begin your Sedona adventure on the Bell Rock trail, a fast, hard-packed singletrack that is big-ring fun.
