This page includes sandstone trails around Sedona, open ground toward the Verde Valley, and forested Mingus Mountain above Jerome and Cottonwood. Those areas differ in elevation, shade, and weather. Snow can remain on Mingus when trails around town are dry.
Across the 11 networks Loam tracks here, elevation spans 3,927 feet and canopy runs from 0 to 44 percent. These measurements describe representative network points, not the full elevation range of every trail. Compare the individual forecasts and check local reports before choosing a ride.
The useful unit here is the riding zone. Each one has its own exposure, elevation, and weather response.
Adobe Jack and Soldier Wash share much of the same trail system, from Highway 89A toward Oak Creek. The Red Rock Ranger District manages the land. Check parking pass requirements at your trailhead.
Broken Arrow is close to central Sedona and includes Hog Wash and Hog Heaven. It is managed by the Red Rock Ranger District.
Schnebly Hill follows the old wagon road east of town and includes the expert-level Hangover Trail. The Red Rock Ranger District manages the land.
Dry Creek is on Sedona's west side and includes the Mescal and Chuckwagon loops. It is managed by the Red Rock Ranger District.
Western Gateway is beside Dry Creek on Sedona's west side, in the Red Rock Ranger District.
Carroll Canyon is near the high school, south of Dry Creek, in the Red Rock Ranger District.
The Village of Oak Creek area includes Bell Rock, Slim Shady, Templeton, and the expert-level Hiline Trail. It is managed by the Red Rock Ranger District.
This lower, open network is in the Verde Valley toward Cottonwood, along the Lime Kiln Trail between Red Rock and Dead Horse Ranch state parks.
Mingus Mountain is above Jerome and Cottonwood in the Prescott National Forest's Verde Ranger District. Expect ponderosa forest and mountain weather, with different closures from Sedona.
Planning patterns, not opening dates. Live conditions and official access decide the day.
Trails around Sedona can be dry while Mingus Mountain still has snow and mud. Check the elevation and condition of your ride.
Monsoon storms can cause sudden runoff in washes. Low crossings may stay wet after the rest of a trail dries.
Cooler temperatures return around Sedona. Higher trails on Mingus Mountain can get winter weather earlier.
Watch for ice and occasional snow around town. Check Prescott National Forest notices for winter road and facility access on Mingus Mountain.
Check the Coconino National Forest's Red Rock Ranger District and the Prescott National Forest for closures. Some Red Rock trailheads require a parking pass. Dry ground does not override an official closure.
Trail work around Sedona is done by Sedona Red Rock Trail Fund and Verde Valley Cyclists Coalition. Support your local builders.
11 of 11 networks around Sedona currently have a PRIME or DUSTY verdict, meaning rideable conditions. Check the network page for details and closure notices.
Rideable options around Sedona include Adobe Jack (PRIME, firm, rideable conditions), Bell Rock Area (PRIME, firm, rideable conditions) and Blowout Wash (PRIME, firm, rideable conditions).
Check the network list above for current estimates at 11 networks. Conditions around town can differ from those on Mingus Mountain.
Check the network you plan to ride and any Forest Service notices. Sandstone can dry before nearby clay pockets and low crossings. Wait if the tread is soft or a wash is running.
Spring and fall often have comfortable riding temperatures around Sedona. Summer brings heat and monsoon storms. Check snow and winter access separately for Mingus Mountain.
Check the Village of Oak Creek page for a network condition estimate. It does not give a separate estimate for Hiline, which is an expert-level trail. Dry ground does not make the technical riding easier.
No. Closures from the Coconino or Prescott National Forest take priority over the estimate.
Mingus Mountain is a higher, forested riding area above Jerome and Cottonwood. It can hold snow and damp ground after the sandstone trails around Sedona have dried. Check its weather and access notices separately.
Loam updates condition estimates hourly. Each network page shows when its estimate was last updated.
Loam uses recent rain, soil, slope, slope direction, tree cover, and current weather to estimate how wet the ground is. These are estimates, not rider reports. Official closures take priority. See how the model works.
