Trail Overview

The Ledge Pipe Climb Trail is intense either way you run it. With large campsites at each end, this area is a popular spot for offroad enthusiasts. From the South end, you'll bob and weave through the creosote and underbrush toward the most itimidating obstacles on the trail - a series of uphill climbs speckled with ledges, off camber shelf roads, and a waterpipe running through the middle of the trail that has been dropped into (sometimes) deep gashes in the trail. Once through those, you're in for a bumpy ride, as it's rocky throughout, all the way to the top.

Difficulty

This rocky trail is rutted with erosion and washouts, and includes a series of ledges on hillclimbs that make it challenging. Rock sliders and skid plates recommended.

Took this trail up and then came down uphill slogg. Alot of big rocks and rock gardens. Slow going after the first couple miles. A nice ride with beautiful views of the Verde Valley, Sedona and VOC. Probably won't take the whole loop again and will just pop off earlier.

This trail is a 3 at most. Fun but easy.

Fun Trail to off road, not too bad, would need a high clearance vehicle to make it an easy drive (3). Tight areas, so car will be beaten up by bushes. Overall amazing and worth it.

Trail is a 3 at most. One climb is a 5 but there is a bypass. Beautiful views of West Sedona. Once on the top it's a rocky pasture. We went down "Uphill Slog" trail. Next time I would bring a chair and a cooler and enjoy the view before going back the way we came up.

Trail only has one technical section with a large off camber climb or drop depending on which direction you are going. There is a bypass. The top of the trail is covered in rock gardens that make going extremely slow and bumpy. Make sure your tires have strong sidewalls and are aired down.
