Location: Sedona

Everybody and their mother goes to Slide Rock Park when they do Sedona. Forget that and go to the local hangout - Red Rock Park. The area isnt quite as scenic but its plenty accessible.
I havent explored all the paths but there is a great wooden bridge over the creek and the trail I did follow has some really nice views. The trail goes to dirt after the bridge and we still pushed 1/4 mile up into the valley. With some better tires I could have gone even further.
Its worth driving up to Slide Rock Park and you can poke around a little at the park itself but Redf Rock offers far more independent travel.
Note: Unless you pressed for time, the only way to really get to Sedona is to go to Prescott and take State Route 89A up thru Gerome. Thats a great ride!
