This trail is a fantastic path that runs along a dry creek bed and dates back to 1880, named after Samuel Loy, who ran cattle along this route to pastures along the canyon's rim. As you explore, you'll encounter plenty of Steller's jays, whose bright blue colors are a gorgeous contrast to Sedona's quintessential iconic red rock formations. There are plenty of smaller natural rock sculptures along the trail, ideal for several options to stop for a picnic and take in the stunning views.
