Pine Flat Campground

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.

About 0.36 miles long, Cave Springs Trail runs through the Coconino National Forest and falls under the Red Rock Ranger District. The number on the sign is 107. The tread is native material, so expect dirt and rock the whole way. Grade sits in the 5 to 8 percent range. Trail class is 3. Wear shoes with grip and take care on loose rock. Phone service is patchy out here, so save a map to your phone first. 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.

Oak Creek Overlook Vista Native American Crafts Market is tagged in map records as a marketplace, and it sits in the Sedona, Arizona area. The phone number on file is (928) 526-2968. That is the whole record, and for a market that leaves out the part that matters most. We do not have the days or hours it runs, whether it is seasonal, where exactly to park, or how many sellers set up. A market like this can be open one day and quiet the next, so call before you drive up. If you help run it, send us the current schedule and we will add it with the date we checked.

A campground at 72 Loy Lane outside Sedona, operated by Global Community Communications Alliance. Wifi is available on site, which is unusual for a camp in this country and useful if you work while you travel. Site types, fees, length limits for a vehicle, and whether water and power are hooked up are not listed here, so ask before you commit to a night. The phone number is (888) 444-1490. Because the camp is run by a private group rather than a public agency, the rules and the booking process are its own, so read them on the camp website first.
