Bikin' Bits: Sedona, Arizona - A Spiritual Ride

Published: March 7, 2021, 5:07 a.m.

Welcome to Bikin' Bits - a bit about bikin' - so you don't have to look forever to find the trails you want to ride. Where we tell you the loops to ride, the loopdy-loops to ride, the uphills, the downhills.

Where we summarize the trails, so you know exactly where you want to go, how long you want to spend, how much elevation you want to gain and how much descent you want to fly down. And of course there'll be a brewery recommendation at the end.


Sedona is known for its stunning red rock vistas and spiritual vortexes. Combine those with MTB trails, and you'll definitely feel something spiritual. The Dry Creek Trails on Boynton Canyon Road just outside of Sedona proper are about a 15-minute drive from free camping on Forest Road 525, the Main Drag. Do it! Camp, bike, drink! See, spiritual!


Here's the loop!

The loops here are quite easy to determine and the trails are very well marked.


Doe Mountain Loop:

Start at Aerie Trailhead by heading south on Cockscomb to Aerie back to the trailhead.


Fay Canyon Trailhead:

Start at Cockscomb to Dawa to Arizona Cypress to Girdner to Rupp back into Cockscomb back to the trailhead.


Each loop will take about 60 - 90 minutes and is around 6-7 miles with around 400-500 feet of elevation gain.


Here's the beer!

You gotta have beer! Sedona Beer Company is the go-to brewery in Sedona.
