Hike and Mountain Bike
Munds Wagon Trail is different from many of the other more “classic†rides around Sedona. If you come from somewhere else and are missing the feel of loose rocks & baby heads rolling around under your tires (after riding some of the other clean, well-maintained trails around Sedona), this is the trail for you. It is very fun in parts, but most mortals will do quite a lot of “hike-a-biking†on the way up. If you think you are pretty gnarly and want to test yourself, there are not many people who can clean the whole thing. The trail parallels and repeatedly crisscrosses Schnebley Hill Road, so you can always change your mind and take the road up (or back down). This is a very scenic ride, and the views just get bigger and better as you ride higher. It is about six miles and 1700 feet of elevation gain to the top. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
More Information
Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
