Thunder Mountain Trail

Short and easy to fit into a morning, Andante Trail covers 0.63 miles in the Red Rock Ranger District of the Coconino National Forest. The surface is native material, so packed dirt and loose rock rather than gravel or pavement. Grades run 5 to 8 percent, gentle enough for most walkers, and the trail is rated class 2, which means a defined path that is still rough underfoot. Look for the number 165E at trail junctions. Because it is short, it works well linked with neighboring routes into a longer loop. Carry water, wear shoes with grip and check conditions after rain or snow.

Amitabha Stupa is a place of worship in the Sedona, Arizona area. Map records list the religion as buddhist and the denomination as tibetan. That is all that is posted here, and it is thin for a site people travel to visit. We do not have a street address, a phone number, hours, parking notes, a trail description, or a website on file. We also cannot say from this record whether it is open to visitors, what is expected of them, or who cares for the site. Until we can confirm those things from a primary source, treat this page as a pointer and check locally before you go.

Trail class 2, grade 10 to 12 percent, and a length near 0.84 miles: that is the shape of Chimney Rock Pass Trail.

Most people use it to link two longer routes rather than walk it on its own, which makes it worth knowing when you are planning a loop. Check conditions before heading out after storms.
