Beautiful old roads linking Flagstaff to Sedona

Trail Description:
Enjoy this beautiful ride through old wagon dirt roads that link Flagstaff with Sedona. Start at Frontier Ave 3E and ride for about 4 miles until you come to a T. Turn right onto Schoolhouse Draw. Stay right and ride for another 2.5 miles until you reach a paved road, Mountainaire Road. Take a right and shortly after turn left on Old Munds Highway (FS 700). This great section drops down for about 17 miles to the intersection with FS 133. Take a right on FS 133. Two miles later you'll come to a T. Take a right onto FS 240 and look for the next left (about 1.3 miles), FS 9492D. This rough trail takes you up for about 2 miles. At the summit, turn left at the T and ride all the way to the intersection with FS 226 (3 miles). Turn right and ride all the way over I17 and down Schnebly Hill Road to Sedona. Enjoy a well deserved meal and drive back to Flagstaff. Of course, if you feel up to it, you can ride all the way back to Flagstaff.
