ヤヴァパイ郡の峡谷・トップ5

Fun

The Jacks Canyon Trail brings hikers through a rocky desert gorge filled with Arizona cypress, catclaw acacia, and banana yucca. Along the trail, watch for desert animals like cottontails, jackrabbits, and Gambel’s quail. Starting near a subdivision, the trail passes through areas affected by the 2006 La Barranca fire and gradually climbs via a dry streambed. It reaches a high saddle with views of the Mogollon Rim and Munds Mountain. A short climb up Munds Mountain Trail rewards hikers with breathtaking panoramas of Sedona’s red rock formations and the distant San Francisco Peaks. Open year-round, it’s best explored from March to November during cooler times.

Very pretty place, and many birds come to drink in the puddles of water that can remain.

This viewpoint on the backside of the cave is incredible and worth the climb. It is a fantastic spot to see a different vantage point of the stunning views that are truly breathtaking.

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.

You get pretty great views of Sycamore Canyon and the surrounding red rock hills and cliffs from the Black Canyon Trail. The trail is a long out-and-back, so you can make your ride as long (or as short) as you want. There are multiple spots with awesome overlooks just off the side of the trail.

If passing by this area on your run, be sure to pause and check out this huge depression in the earth! There are no guardrails from the drop off areas so be sure to use caution and not get too close.
