Featured Trails Chapel by Woodzy Chapel is a small trail located in Sedona, Arizona. Chapel is just one of many trails in the area that can be connected and customized to ones own wants to form the perfect ride. Chapel can be combined with Broken Arrow Trail, Mystic, and Little Horse to form a very nice loop. Like many of the other trails in the area, Chapel boasts a few pretty technical sections along with a few slick-rock portions. Also, just a warning, this trail has some of the most amazing views in Sedona. [more] Three Corner Rock Trail by Malibu Regarding Three Corner Rock Trail, not for the faint of heart is quite appropriate for a couple of reasons. First, the climb from the trailhead to the peak at Three Corner Rock is quite strenuous at around 2400 feet in about 8.5 miles.

Additionally, there are many tight turns and hillside portions that require complete attention. Lose focus and line on this trail and it will be awhile before you stop or are stopped by a large, immovable object on your quicker than desired descent.

Since the trip was excessively too long (back to the car almost at night !), I decided to split it into two pages to present each areas as they deserve. The lack of pictures made me wait until I get a bit more. Here we are so let's go for the second part !
