RR: Huckaby Trail

Huckaby Trail, Sedona, AZ.

Spent a couple of day’s single speeding in Prescott. Prescott with its buff flowing singletracks makes for excellent SSing. No Prescott pics, to busy riding. Besides I knew I would be spending time in Sedona. I need to leave the camera in the truck when I ride Sedona…every new corner is a great picture 2 hour rides take me 3 hours.

I ride Sedona often and this was my first time on Huckaby Trail…it is a tough trail…bring you’re A-Game you will need it. I started at Shelby Hill Road and dropped down into Oak Creek Canyon then back up the other side to Migley Bridge. The water crossing at the bottom was up to my knees and lots of water coming through. Once at Migley Bridge I found out Jim Thompson Trail was closed due to last month’s fires so I had to take Highway 89 back to town. I stared at 7am and temperatures were in the low 70’s. By the time I was done maybe middle 80’s at 10am. I would go this ride again if I could hook it up with the Secrets Trails via Jim Thompson Trail.

Plan for tomorrow is to try another new Sedona Trail for me, Munds Wagon Trail. Got to get an early start that Red Rock radiates heat and gets warm fast.

Dean, we did a similar route when we were out there.Seeing those pics, makes me realize I've been away to long. I'll be heading back out there again this fall. Gawd, I love that place.
 
your pics never disappoint! looks like one hellavu place to ride. keep those pics coming.
 
Actully Arizona gets most of it's rain June-September. It is very green here now. This spring they were talking about closing the forest luckly it rained and we only had 1-3 weeks of Forest closeuers.

Rained in Prescott yesterday and last night. Yesterday in Sedona lighting most of the day but no rain on me...you got to be carefully in those washes.
 
Nice report Dean - Sounds like an interesting trail to hit up when I get back there. Got your PM's I'll try to make it work.
