Post subject: | TR: Sedona Thanksgiving |
Sedona Thanksgiving Traveling on baby time(3 month old) the 7 hour drive turned into 10. So got into town later than had hoped, but still got a short ride in on the Big Park loops located near the hotel. https://www.strava.com/activities/440049845 Good to be on red dirt: Epic sunset: Then it got really dark, good thing I packed the light: ----- Day 1. Andy was only riding one day, so we planned the Highline-Hogs Loop. https://www.strava.com/activities/440050583 Highline: Dropping down to Templeton: Forgot how fun Templeton is, but also forgot about the up: On the way to the Hogs area: Pigtail has some fun berms and jumps: Llama back to Bell bypass to the hotel has some nice views: ----- Day 2. Solo riding a West Sedona loop that included some stuff I had done in the past and a few new to me trails. https://www.strava.com/activities/440535162 View from highpoint prior to dropping down to Girdner: Girdner had some bad reviews, but seemed nice to me, maybe due to some recent reroutes. Chuckwagon: Mescal: Canyon of fools is really fun and has some cool features, including a ditch: The Cockscomb from Western civilization: Last Frontier is really fun, starts out in a wash: Then up on the canyon wall: Up Drano(with a long pause to contemplate doing L-n-A) and back to the truck: ----- Day 3. Did 3 hikes with wife and child. I wanted to check out some of the stuff in Wilderness. Devils Bridge: Fay Arch: Sunset on Doe Mountain: ---- Day 4. Wanted to get a ride in prior to the drive home. Ended up doing some loops and out-back on trails in the Soldier Wash trails. Was thinking Hangover, but it was 32 degrees in the morning and I figured S.W. would be warmer and less risky solo riding, plus I had only been on one of the Soldier Wash trails in the past. https://www.strava.com/activities/441817620 View from the start on Adobe Jack did not disappoint: Near the Soldier's Pass Trailhead: A big sinkhole, the large block fell in the 1980's: 7 pools: Pano from Ant Hill: Fast fun trails and some bonus cool geology. Crusty was a rather challenging uphill back to the truck, but nice change from all the flow . On the road by noon and the managed to coordinate baby stops with gas/food, so did the drive home in 8 hours. |

^^^ Yes, you do ^^^ I always thought that Hiline was the best trail out there until we did Hogs and all the connectors out there on our last trip in October. Good stuff indeed. |
