Chavez Crossing Group Campground

Poco Diablo Resort is a hotel in Sedona, Arizona, near the red rock trails. Read the listing name with care: the resort's own website now presents the property as Outbound Sedona, so the sign, the booking page and any confirmation you are sent may carry that name instead. Both names point at the same place. No rates, room count, check in times or phone number are published here, so book through the site or call the property to confirm what a room includes and whether the name on your reservation matches the name at the door. If you manage this hotel, use the claim link to send us details we can check.

Pigtail Trail covers 0.61 miles inside the Red Rock Ranger District of the Coconino National Forest, on the public land around Sedona, Arizona. At 5-8% the climb is gentle, and the tread is dirt and rock left as it lies. It carries the number 157A and is held to class 2 standards. Cool mornings are the easier time to walk it, and light fades quickly in the canyons. Sturdy shoes help, and so does an early start in summer.
