Comparable to Southern Utah (with less sand and way easier to travel!), Sedona is a red rock playground of slickrock, hard packed silt and ledge filled rides. Even better, this all takes place beneath soaring sandstone cliffs and an azure blue sky. Well known by sightseers and new age spiritualists, Sedona is also home to some of the best mountain biking in the country. After a stop near Lake Powell, your trip takes you to the North Rim of Grand Canyon where you will sail through Aspen groves and carve turns right on the rim! A stop in the mountain town of Flagstaff tops off a week of Arizona’s best high elevation singletrack. Available May 15-October 15. This program is a SELF GUIDED with some guided rides in Sedona and is available in Summer only or according to park open dates for the North Rim. We also offer a Sedona adventure in winter time and can customize Sedona to any time of the year. This trip can also be made guided at any time.

Options for more technical rides exist with a guide. Experience required; and for the self guided rides; you must be comfortable in remote locations with no cell phone service.
