Trail Overview

It's hard to find isolation in Sedona. The end of this trail offers just that. The beginning of this trail starts at the turn-off to Van Deren Cabin and continues north. This trail is rough and rocky most of the way with some sandy sections at the end. There are several rock ledges to crawl down and up throughout this trail. Once you are at the end of this trail, you are greeted by a nice view of Lost Wilson Mountain. There is a parking area at the end of this trail to explore on foot. There are four main hiking trailheads along this road. It is highly recommended to have tires aired down while traveling this road.
