Huckaby Trail

Earth Wisdom Tours runs guided jeep tours from 293 N State Rt. 89A in Sedona. A guide drives the jeep and talks about the land along the way. The website lists tours to places such as Airport Mesa, Schnebly Hill, and Red Rock Crossing, plus rough road trips. It also has a virtual 360 tour so you can look before you book. To choose a tour, check times, or ask about prices, call (928) 282-4714. Ask how long each tour lasts and how bumpy the ride is, so you can pick the one that fits your group.

An arts organization at 15 Art Barn Road in Sedona, with a gallery showing work by its members and a schedule of classes and workshops for adults. The gallery is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and from noon on Sunday, so plan a later start if you are coming on a Sunday. In October the center runs a plein air festival every year, when painters work outdoors around the area and the results go on show. Class subjects and sizes change by season. Call (928) 282-3809 to ask what is running, what a class costs and whether space is left.

This hotel at 400 North State Route 89A in Sedona runs under a national chain brand, and its full name covers two kinds of lodging: hotel rooms and creekside villas. Say which one you want when you book, since a villa and a room are priced and laid out differently. Rates, loyalty points and cancellation rules follow the chain rather than a local desk. No hours are listed, which is normal for a front desk. Call 1 928-282-4001 to ask about villas, parking, pet rules or a late arrival. No email address is on file.

A Christian church on North State Route 89A in Sedona, at number 401. Wayside Bible Chapel keeps its own website, which is the place to look for the current service schedule, since small congregations move times with the season and with holidays. The phone number is (928) 282-4262, and a call is the surest way to confirm when a service starts and whether anything is running for children that morning. Visitors are usually welcome without arranging anything ahead. Ask about accessibility if steps are a problem, because older church buildings vary a great deal on that.

Rooms at 230 Apple Avenue, a short walk from the shops and restaurants in the middle of Sedona. Dogs are welcome, and the hotel describes steps it takes to run in a more eco friendly way. Alongside standard rooms there is a set of larger villa units. Seasonal specials appear from time to time, and the site keeps an area guide and a list of local events for guests planning their days. Reach the desk at (928) 282-7176, or email reservations@matterhorninn.com, to check dates, ask about pet rules and any added fee, and confirm parking and check in times before you arrive.

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 typical grade is 10 to 12 percent, which is steep enough that the mileage understates the effort, and the surface is native material. It is a class 2 trail. 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.

Adobe Jack Trail is a 2.1 mile path in the Coconino National Forest near Sedona, Arizona. The Red Rock Ranger District takes care of it. The tread is native material, so you walk on packed dirt and rock rather than pavement. Grades run about 8 to 10 percent, which means steady short climbs rather than flat walking. It is listed as trail number 660 and rated trail class 2, a simple developed path with no pavement and no railings. Wear shoes with grip, carry more water than you think you need, and check the district for closures before you drive out to the trailhead.

Aerie Trail runs 2.75 miles over native dirt and rock in the Coconino National Forest outside Sedona. Grades sit between 5 and 8 percent, so the climbing is gentle and steady rather than steep. It is listed as trail number 168 and rated trail class 2, which means a developed path with a clear tread but no pavement and no railings. The Red Rock Ranger District manages it. Shade is thin on most trails in this country, so carry more water than you think you need, start early in warm months, and check for closures before you drive to the trailhead.
