I started this hike from Courthouse Vista trailheads. I used Phone trail-Bell Rock trail-Templeton trail to get to Easy Breezy trail. About.6 of a mile. I followed the Eagles route from there, albeit backwards. You can start at the other end by using the Cathedral Rock trailhead. Use part of Cathedral Rock trail and Templeton trail to get to that end of Easy Breezy trail. Probably about.6 of a mile to get to that end too.
Evidence of recent rain but the red dirt packs nicely. Stayed mud free. Nice tree cover, views and plenty of interesting rock areas.
Only saw 5 mountain bikers and 1 hiker on trail.
Nice weather this morning and a very enjoyable outing!

Riding Sedona trails with the Estrella Casual Riders. Got stuck in a big traffic delay on 179 on the way into the Village of Oak Creek (and a much smaller delay heading out). Great loop with fun company. Stopped for lunch at Maria's Mexican food in Village of Oak Creek - highly recommended!

Day 3 of birthday mountain bike rides in Sedona. Well, today was my birthday and a parking spot opened up at Bell Rock just as I pulled in! Fantastic! Slim Shady and Easy Breezy may be my all time favorite mountain bike trails. So fun! So scenic!

Not sure what the big deal is about the changing colors of the leaves. If the colors are changing that means the leaves are a falling. Spent 5 hours in Camp Verde helping father in law rake a gazillion leaves. Not impressed. Plan was to hike in Sedona, but because of the late start we had settle for the Phone Trail. Wife and I got on the trail just after 5pm with the sun already setting. Nice, easy walk. Went a little way on the Bell Rock Path Trail to where it connected to the start of the Phone Trail. (Just an FYI, the Phone Trail passes directly across the Courthouse TH and extends about .25 miles in either direction. In doing this trail, we actually walked passed this Phone Trail juncture and started it from the western end). From this direction the hike is slightly downhill initially, but flattens out quickly. We walked to the end of the trail, turned around and went back to the TH. This hike is not so much about the trail, but about the beauty of the surrounding area. Even near dark, it was still beautiful views.

Stopped in Sedona on the way back from Flagstaff and took the daughter and dog for a quick hike up Bell Rock. She actually took better pictures that I did :oops: I haven't been to Sedona in a year and I really love this place. The way all the colors come together here is amazing. This was a real easy trail and daughter and dog had no problem up. There were a lot of people on the trail today. I can't wait until I retire, also.

For all the times I've hiked in Sedona, I've never really hiked much in this area. I put together a loop, Joe tweaked it a bit, and we were off.

First up, getting to the top of Bell Rock. Joe picked a decent ascent route to the top. There are only a couple spots that make you think a bit. We had the top to ourselves. Great morning views of the area.

Video from the top :next: youtu.be/51Jch9Byq18

Next up, an area that's off the main drag. I've wanted to get a better view of the "Rabbit Ears" and found this unmarked loop on Satellite View that get's you close. We saw one mountain biker, walking her bike on the trail and that was it. A nice little change from the perfectly groomed Sedona main corridor trails.

Just before making it to Chicken Point, I lost Joe to a Yoga Class for a bit.

The High on the Hog and Hog Heaven Trails need to be put on your list if you are in this area. We were calling this the Hangover junior Trail. Great trail with great views.

After taking Joe to church, it was off to Cathedral Rock. The HT Trail and Templeton Trails are a worthy alternatives to reaching Cathedral Rock. Being one of the most popular areas in Sedona, it was jumping with all types. Including Infants, puppies, yoga pants and Grandmas.

I really enjoyed this loop with perfect weather in gods country.

Hands down the highlight. Using 9L's posted route it was easy to decipher. Based on the tunnel through the scrub at the bottom and the register up top this place gets a lot of visitors.

Rabbit Ears
Heard of this 11 years ago and have been mildly curious. I prefer the north part of the loop over the south. Once is probably enough. It's cool you can see the ears driving south on I-17!

The Hogs
16 years ago I mountain biked Broken Arrow. Memories of so so kept it off my return list. The Hog trails are near perfect. A low key manicured version of Hangover Trail ( favorite ). Edgy trail through lots of cypress, need I say more. Thx to tibber/gecko for bringing these great trails to light.

Templeton Trail
Bruce put this hike together. I suggested the missing spice Cathedral Rock utilizing HT & Templeton to connect. Unexpectedly found out the connectors are decent hiking. When you aren't in the cypress you are surrounded by the distant red rock formations. This trail goes to Red Rock Crossing, I may have under estimated it's potential. Tough to give it a higher rating going under a hwy and with such other great choices nearby. Let's call it a high 3.9 of 5!

Synopsis
I enjoyed the entire hike. Sedona, the forest service or whoever has done a great job with most of the trails and signage. I'm not a fan of over networked trail systems like the cough north McDowells. It works very well in this spectacular land of red rock. Wonderful weather and friendly yoga enthusiast may have made this hike better than normal.

Overcast and mid 70s. Finally got to try a more trail running friendly route. Decided against scrambling up Bell Rock today.
