Tuesday, August 1st

“Airport Mesa Loop Trail” – What a beautiful 3.5 mile loop trail! There are views all the way around the loop. There is a short slick rock ledge at the start of the trail. NOTE: Red Rock Pass

Level 2.5-3

Directions: From Cottonwood, Enter Sedona and turn right when get to Airport Rd Traffic light. About half way up road (.2 tenths of a mile) pull out parking on the left.

Tuesday, August 8th

“Mingus Mountain” (Don’t know the real name) – I would say about 3-4 miles out and back. Go through some pines along the way to a very nice outlook view. Nothing too strenuous.

Level 2.5

Directions: From Cottonwood, Head up to Jerome, continue 4.2 miles beyond Jerome. You will then see a large pull out on the right that also has a big brown Prescott National Forest sign.

Tuesday, August 15th

“Baldwin Trail” –

Another great loop hike about 3 miles long, this hike provides wonderful views of Cathedral Rock. It will take us down towards red rock crossing to enjoy some sounds of the creek.

Level 2.5

Directions: From Cottonwood: Go through Cornville to beaver head flat road to village of Oak creek. Then turn left at the Verde Valley School Rd round about. Follow all the way out till road turns to dirt, then about a mile in look for trail head lot on the left.

Tuesday, August 22

“Wilson Canyon Trail” -The going is very easy and there'is quite a bit of shade. This route goes into a box canyon alongside a wooded stream, then, if you choose, a scramble up to a big viewpoint. P.S. we can also combine a nice water feature after this main hike that goes underneath the bridge! Splash around a bit.

Level 2.0-2.5

Directions: From Cottonwood: Drive to Sedona, stay on 89A like you are going up Oak Creek Canyon. Park in the Midgely Bridge Parking Area.

Tuesday, August 29^th

“Arizona Cypress” – 3.0 mile loop trail. I admit, I haven’t done this one yet but it looks great on the map. Intersects with Girdner, snake, and anaconda trails.

I’ll call it a level 3 because I’m not sure (Adventure Time!)

Directions: From Cottonwood: Head to Sedona via 89A, Turn left on Dry Creek Road. Just before the first “T” there is a left hand dirt road turn (right before the little bridge) left. Follow to trail head.

Remember: Choose the best hike for you! (Call 928-301-6143 or email: jen.mabery@yavapai.us with any questions), Carry plenty of water, Bring a snack, use sun protection, consider walking stick(s), leave what you find, and most importantly...HAVE A GOOD TIME!
