Coconino Loop

Brewer Trail is 0.77 miles long and lies in the Red Rock Ranger District of the Coconino National Forest. It carries the number 212 where it is signed. Grades between 5 and 8 percent make it an easy walk by local standards, and the tread is native material, so expect packed dirt and rock rather than gravel or pavement. The trail class 2 rating describes a route that is clear to follow but not built up. Short trails like this one are often used to connect longer routes into a loop. Check conditions after rain, and carry water whatever the distance.

Walkers heading out from Sedona, Arizona will find Sedona View Trail at 0.7 miles long, in the Red Rock Ranger District of the Coconino National Forest. The tread is dirt and rock left in place, and grades of 10-12% mean the miles tilt uphill in places. It carries the number 169 and is held to class 3 standards. Storm runoff moves dirt around, so the tread may look different from one season to the next. Carry water, wear shoes with grip, and give yourself more time than the distance suggests. For closures, dog rules, or parking questions, the Red Rock Ranger District is the place to ask.
