Sedona - MTB trails

On the second part of our Arizona trip we headed to Sedona. As one of the most famous mountain bike destinations in the world we wanted to explore everything and anything. The red slick rock is truly spectacular and like nothing else. It gives incredible grip to ride on.Due to accommodation costs in Sedona, we based ourselves out of Cottonwood and drove up to Sedona.First up we headed straight to Hangover trail. This trail is most definitely not for the intermediate rider, super advanced riders only. There is a huge amount of exposure and technical sections with drops to the side.For the nest few days we explored mainly the trails coming out of the Oak Creek area. Here the trails are super fun, generally always fast with lots of flow and littered with rocky technical sections for both climbing and descending. Sedona is amazing for improving your technical climbing skills, slick rock sections give you the confidence to "have a go" without major consequences. One major thing to note with all of these trails is they are dual directional and multi-use, quite different to trails in the UK. Sedona is an extremely busy outdoor area, meaning the trails can get super busy with lots of different users. This definitely effected our choice of where to ride, what direction to ride the trails in and what time to ride.
