Sedona Day 1 and Black Canyon Trail

Arrived in Sedona Saturday late afternoon after a quick layover in Vegas. Bootleg Canyon had a Super D going on and I was staying in Boulder City. Decided to hit the road and get to AZ as I have yet to ride here. Rode a couple of hours before sunset on the West Sedona Trails including Mescal, Chuck Wagon and Girdner. It was a bit rainy and cold in Sedona today so I headed down to Black Canyon Trail and did a 16 mile out and back starting at the Black Rock City trailhead. Can't wait to get back on the bike in Sedona tomorrow. Dirt should be prime! I can't believe how much riding is packed into this amazingly spectacular place. So far the flow has been great which can be an issue with the red rock areas. Plenty of tech for you grinders as well. It's definitely strange being upscale compared to the other desert mtb towns like Moab, Fruita and Hurricane. I could see camping here or renting a house being a good way to go. Mescal Trail West Sedona Black Canyon Trail (Horseshoe Bend segment?) Widely available. O'Dell of Fort Collins, CO Myrcenary Double IPA. 9.3% but goes down smooth.
