Crescent Moon Ramada

Secret Slickrock Trail is 0.4 miles near Sedona, in the Red Rock Ranger District of Coconino National Forest, as trail number 202B. The letter puts it in the family that shares the number 202 on that side of town. The typical grade is 10 to 12 percent, steep for under half a mile, and the surface is native material. It is recorded as trail class 2. The allowed uses are not posted for this one, so ask before you ride. Plan it as one leg of a loop built from that network.

Crescent Moon Ranch Cabin is a cabin you can reserve at 333 Red Rock Crossing Rd in Sedona. It is reservable and lists ADA access as N, so it is not set up for wheelchairs. The phone number is (928) 203-7500. Directions on file run from Interstate 17, take exit 298 onto Highway 179 north, then go west through Sedona on 89A to Upper Red Rock Loop Road. Two notes. The website points at a general agency publications page, not at this cabin. The email is a usda.gov address for one staff member rather than a booking line.

About 0.42 miles long, Red Rock Crossing Trail sits on Coconino National Forest land near the Village of Oak Creek, Arizona. The Red Rock Ranger District keeps it up. Look for the number 191B where routes meet. The path is made of native material, rated trail class 3, and rises at a grade of 5-8%. Park only in marked spaces and pack out everything you bring in. Phone service is not reliable on forest land, so save a map before you leave town. Plan a turnaround time, and turn back early if the light or the weather changes.

Ramshead Trail is 1.11 miles near Sedona, in the Red Rock Ranger District of Coconino National Forest, as trail number 202A. The letter marks it as a branch of the route numbered 202, which runs nearby at a similar grade. Native material underfoot, at a typical grade of 10 to 12 percent. It is recorded as trail class 2. The allowed uses are not posted for this one, so ask before you ride. The two together make an obvious pairing on the map, which is the sensible way to plan either one.

Ridge Trail covers 2.77 miles inside the Red Rock Ranger District of the Coconino National Forest, on the public land around Sedona, Arizona. Dirt and rock underfoot, with a 5-8% grade that climbs steadily rather than sharply. It carries the number 208 and is held to class 3 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. Ask the Red Rock Ranger District about current conditions and where you may park at the start.

Slide Rock State Park is at 6871 N. Highway 89A in Sedona, managed by Arizona State Parks.

So does the fee: $30 per vehicle for one to four people through August 21, 2026, then $20 from August 22, 2026 to April 2027, with $5 for each extra person and under 6 free. The phone number is (928) 282-3034. Parking fills early on hot days, and the lot closing is what turns people away rather than the park itself.

Cottonwood Kid's Park is a city park at 350 South 12th Street in Cottonwood, Arizona. It is run by the City of Cottonwood. The posted opening hours are Mo-Sa 09:00-17:00, so it is open six days a week through the middle of the day and closed on Sunday. Those hours are what the city posts for the park itself, and shade and water at a park like this can depend on the season, so plan a summer visit for the morning. There is no phone number on this listing. For questions about the park, or about closures for maintenance or a scheduled event, contact the City of Cottonwood.
