Oak Creek Overlook Vista Native American Crafts Market

Signed as trail 117, Oak Creek Vista Trail stretches 0.28 miles in the Red Rock Ranger District of the Coconino National Forest near Sedona, Arizona. The tread is paved, and grades of 5-8% mean the miles climb gently. It is held to class 5 standards. Loose rock turns up after storms, so watch your step on the downhill side. Take water for everyone in your group, and turn back if the weather changes. Check with the Red Rock Ranger District for closures, fire limits, and parking rules before you drive out.

The Red Rock Ranger District keeps up Cookstove Trail, one of many routes on the Coconino National Forest. It measures close to 2 miles and carries the number 143. 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. Stay on the worn tread to keep the soil and plants around it intact. Footing gets slick for a while after rain. Carry your own water, because there is none to fill up along the way.

Trail class 2, grade 12 to 20 percent, and a length near 0.91 miles: that is the shape of Harding Springs Trail. It lies on the Coconino National Forest, in the Red Rock Ranger District, and shows up on maps as trail 51. Nothing is paved. The surface is native material, dirt and rock as found. Step to the side and let horses pass when you meet riders. Sun is strong most of the year, so a hat and sunscreen help. Start back with enough daylight left to finish. Wear shoes with grip and take care on loose rock.
