This trail starts out from a cute campground, goes behind a bunch of summer cabins and ends up with a great view over Mormon Lake on some neat basalt formations.

I do various parts of this trail almost every day since it is accessable from my neighborhood. Hopefully one day I'll go all the way to the top of elden. That would be quite a hike!

Rode my bike from my house to Elden Lookout Road where the Schultz pass trail starts and thought I'd ride home on this trail. Bad idea! They call it "Rocky Ridge" for a good reason! It's super rocky. Not so good if you're a weenie bike rider, like me.

This is a beautiful hike. It's kind of a long drive up Schultz Pass, but it is so peaceful up there. It's nice in the summer, but you'd better get an early start.

Thunder Mountain is a sunny, hot hike straight up the side of a mountain. The trail is fairly straightforward until you start hiking uphill quickly.

From the parking, hike east on a small trail about a quarter of a mile until a larger trail heads north. Follow this trail north until you see a big boulder, about another quarter of a mile. From this boulder, look for a big juniper tree growing out of the mountain. Head straight up the mountain aiming for a rock ramp to the right of this juniper. You should be at a short 4th Class (this means you must use hands and feet to ascend, but don't need a rope) section. After this, bushy ramps head back to the right and then it's cross country trail to the summit. We didn't actually get past the little scramble because our dog wasn't willing to do it, so that's definitely something to keep in mind if you have a dog. The scramble drops off on one side, and some dogs get a little troubled by this.

Again, this is a difficult, steep hike. Bring plenty of water and make sure you are sure footed. A wrong step could be disastrous. This hike is difficult and does not follow much of a trail to the rocky ramp. Apparently it also does not follow a trail after the rocky ramp either. Be sure to tread lightly and spread out to minimize impact if there is no trail. Also, realize that although I may have felt comfortable climbing the aforementioned rocky ramp ropeless, this sentiment may not be shared by all.

This trail should not be attempted in wet weather or if thunderstorms are expected.

16 minutes up and 10 down, going up the dirt and down the paved (although I wish I would have done it the other way and saved my knees!)

We took the right hand trail out of the parking lot that supposedly leads to Lost Canyon, but we went up to the rim above the ruins. We followed this rim around until we were opposite Devil's Bridge. We then dropped down from a saddle and followed the trail around back to the parking lot. It was a great loop. Maybe 4-5 miles.

Drive through uptown sedona and stay right. Turn right on Andante Dr. and park at the end of it. Then hike east until you hit another trail with a cairn in wire mesh. Head left and start hiking straight up the mountain. Look for a large juniper tree to the left when the hiking gets really steep and find a small rock ramp that heads from right to left to the juniper. That's as far as we got, cause the dog didn't want to go up the ramp, but I plan to go back and finish the hike and then I can do a real trip description.

Lots of rocks and bushwacking, but good exercise. I like AB Young better though. Better trail and better views.

The description for the beginning of the trail led us a bit astray. We hiked up a steep hill to a bushwack when really you just hike under the powerlines until you find the sign. The start of the trail is almost directly opposite the campground, maybe 500 feet upstream from the stairs. Hiking up from the creek to the power lines is not at all like a "steep ravine".

It was a great hike though. Thoroughly enjoyable and crazy to be able to do it in the middle of winter with no snow!

Super fun. I would recommend hiking as far upstream until you can get to the water. Then swim along until you get to the drop. You can either rappel (if you know how and have the equipment) or jump, if the water is high enough. I was too scared and shivery to do the jump, but it did look possible.

This is a truely beautiful canyon. Do not swim it in the spring if the water is high and fast moving. It can be very dangerous.

Great trail, especially when done with 2 vehicles. Leave one at Snowbowl and do it as a through hike with a summit of Mt. Humphries along the way.

One of our all time favorites, though we have to do it during the week because our dog likes to swim in the water.

Have done the trail 3 times and haven't made it to the summit yet. Been training for the Imogene each time and by the time I get to the Saddle, my hubby has already been up to the summit and is waiting at the saddle to hike down with me. Maybe next time!

Just hike to Cedar Ridge. Some serious lightning strikes convinced us to turn around. Amazing views!
