Barely a quarter mile long, Boynton Vista Trail covers 0.22 miles in the Red Rock Ranger District of the Coconino National Forest. It is numbered 652 on signs and maps. Grades of 5 to 8 percent keep it easy, and the surface is native material, so dirt and rock rather than anything laid or paved. The trail class 2 rating means a path that is clear enough to follow but not smoothed out. Its length makes it a short add on to a longer walk rather than an outing by itself. Wear shoes with grip and carry water even for a quick trip.

Look for trail 53 on forest signs and maps. That is Fay Canyon Trail, a route of roughly 1.12 miles inside the Coconino National Forest. The Red Rock Ranger District manages it. The surface is native material, which means packed dirt and rock rather than paving. Slopes fall in the 0 to 5 percent band, and the route is rated trail class 3. Pack out everything you carry in, food scraps included. Temperatures swing a lot between morning and afternoon, so dress in layers. Tell someone where you are going and when you plan to be back.

The Red Rock Ranger District keeps up Deadmans Pass Trail, one of many routes on the Coconino National Forest. It measures close to 1.18 miles and carries the number 110. The tread is native material, so expect dirt and rock the whole way. Climbs and descents work out to 5 to 8 percent, and the route is logged at trail class 2. Carry your own water, because there is none to fill up along the way. Storms and snow change conditions fast, so ask the ranger district about closures before you drive out.

A B Young Trail covers 2.09 miles near Sedona, in the Red Rock Ranger District of Coconino National Forest. It is trail number 100.

The allowed uses are not posted, so ask before you ride. This is a well known climb and it can be busy, so an early start helps with both parking and heat. Trailhead parking details are not posted, and parking rules around Sedona change, so check before you drive out.
