Sedona, Arizona, is renowned for its rugged red rock landscapes and adventurous trails, and the Chimney Rock Trail is no exception. This trail offers mountain bikers a taste of Sedona’s natural beauty without a daunting commitment. With its figure-eight loop format, you can stitch together the Upper Chimney Rock Trail and Lower Chimney Rock Trail for a 3.16-mile excursion. However, there’s an important twist: the upper loop crosses into wilderness territory, where biking is prohibited. While you can tackle the lower loop on two wheels, the upper loop is best enjoyed as a hike.

By blending biking and hiking, you can make the most of Chimney Rock's dynamic terrain. The trail delivers sweeping views, a sense of solitude, and a chance to soak in Sedona's stunning desert environment, all within a short and manageable distance.
