Sedona MTB

Dave says: We left Skye with Grandma for her first overnighter and went on a quick trip up to Sedona. Our afternoon ride from Oak Creek took us around Slim Shady and HT to the Hogs, Broken Arrow, and Little Horse. It's always enjoyable to sit on the big rock at Chicken Point, take in the view, and talk about the white line on the cliff and the crazy people who ride it on YouTube.

The next morning we went out to the west side. Before jumping on the bikes, we decided to take a short hike to Devil's Bridge. I drove the Subaru in part way but the road got a little gnarly and so we walked for a bit to the trailhead. It's a pretty great little hike with an arch you can walk out on that looks a bit scary in pictures but isn't too bad in person. 

It was a great day for riding the west side and we finally have a good loop figured out. We added in the Mescal trail (which for some reason we had never done) and it was some pretty great slickrock at the base of some cool formations. After a tasty lunch it was time for our getaway to come to an end and we drove home and found Skye and Grandma doing great. With this trip only 2 hours away, it's hard not to want to come to Sedona on a regular basis.
