We had lunch at the spot where I proposed to her 27 months ago on Baby Bell, then did the loop quickly before heading home.

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!

First time doing this loop,
I forget how confusing this network of trails can be, haven’t been to Templeton in a while. Seems like there are new cairns at Baby Bell? Haven’t been there in a long time.
Is there a trail going to the top or just find your own route. The route we took wasn’t the best, we were off 5 ft from the top, Josie could have made it up but wasn’t sure if she could make it back down, didn’t want to risk having to carry her down. The Courthouse Vista trailhead was closed, didn’t see a single soul the whole time we were up Baby Bell.
Took Templeton and HT back to Little Horse. Josie was not a fan of the road noise on HT, not used to seeing a bridge with cars zipping by on hikes. :lol:

Kind of a post vacation hike. Did this hike while visiting family in Camp Verde. This was one of several that I wanted to do while I was in the area. Got to the Courthouse Vista TH around 5am. Two cars already there! This was simply meant to be a short loop circling the Little Bell butte and it was, though maybe a little more convoluted than it had to be. It was too dark to see the trail signs so I ended up heading further south than I probably needed to and then I found out that the Little Bell isn't signed as well as I thought and/or wasn't the trail that I thought. Followed signs on the western side but they seemed to disappear about 3/5 around. I anticipated on this being a loop, but the trail signs did Nate bear this out. Made it a loop anyway. With the Sedona stone and minimal foliage it was easy enough to do. And it appeared that quite a few others had done so as well. Nice morning hike, though kind of muggy. Didn't see anyone while I was out, except for a photographer (tripod and all) on top of the Little Bell summit. No wildlife.
