I LOVED Mountain Biking SCORPION trail in Sedona! EPIC 10 mi LOOP w/ Skywalker & Carroll Canyon! 🦂

Two days after crashing I decide to ride a very technical Intermediate / Expert loop in West Sedona. The trails I took gave me 1300 ft of elevation and around one and a half hours of adrenaline pumping fun! I LOVED SCORPION TRAIL!! Skywalker was sketchy, but worth it to make this an awesome loop and grand tour of the Carroll Canyon region. Carroll Canyon trail was also epic! The views on these trails are out of this world, because most of the time you are on the edge of a cliff! Flowy sections mixed with long gradual climbs made this the perfect 10 mile loop right off the main drag 89A in Sedona. Perfect riding conditions in the MIDDLE OF DECEMBER, I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt.
This 10 mile Clock-wise trail loop I made started at the top of Old Post trail, then meets up with Skywalker, then Easy Breezy, then SCORPION, then Old Post up to Carroll Canyon Trail and finally Ridge Trail back to the parking lot. I highly recommend this loop!! #mountainbike #mountainbiking #sedona #views #redrock #vegan #santacruz #trail #scorpion #bikerchick #bikelover #adrenaline #flow #arizona #biking #reddirt

The dog's paw at the end of the intro! 😜

[@Sara.Jo.]

Hahaha 😂

[@DR10002]

Lol the litte paw in the beginning

[@Sara.Jo.]

😂 glad you noticed

[@azdesertrat6969]

Awesome ride! Thanks for taking us along! Downhill yields to uphill. There are places where if you have to stop on the uphill you simply can't restart. You have to go back down and start over or walk the rest of the way up. No enforcement, just based on courtesy.

[@Sara.Jo.]

Thank you!..and I agree

[@ladennis2009]

Yes, You should yield to the climbers. It's harder to go up hill, you can stop and easily go downhill. Love your videos.

[@Sara.Jo.]

Thank you! And yes, I know this now and I alway yield 😊 surprised to see some people don’t!

[@kennymorris6329]

the dog paw...🤣

[@Sara.Jo.]

Hahaha so glad someone noticed

[@rando4468]

That's the best trail map I've ever seen. Sweet ride!

[@Mtb-Bayarea]

[@stevehague3836]

Awesome video great job !

[@Sara.Jo.]

Thanks!!

[@Eric.V.]

Mr e-biker should have made that tiny climb at the end! They always act like e-bikes can climb anything😆 That scenery really is epic!

[@Sara.Jo.]

Hahah!

[@wheatlandsoul]

I liked Scorpion too! I took a pretty good spill on it. Stalled out on a rock and then just tipped over, tumbling down the steep slope lol

[@Sara.Jo.]

Hahah…glad to hear you survived 😅 it’s literally my nightmare, so many cacti

[@jasonlindquistmedia]

nice , love ur videos

[@Sara.Jo.]

Thanks 😊

[@user-nr6fr1ik6c]

Down hill yields up hill.

[@eddie19913]

Love your videos!! 🤙🏽 They motivate me to keep riding even on my tiresome day 🥹🚲☺️

[@Sara.Jo.]

That's awesome!

[@philipweston2545]

I know those LMNT packs don't have sugar, but for long rides I think its generally best to just leave your camel pack with water only and then fill your water bottle with water and supplements as needed. Keeps your camel pack clean and less problematic...food for thought!

[@Sara.Jo.]

I hear you, I clean mine out after every single ride so it’s not that much of an issue for me. And one packet to almost 2 liters of water is really a sweet spot for me, it’s not too overpowering.

[@user-nr6fr1ik6c]

Down hill yelled to up hill

[@joeymeisenheimer5848]

Scorpion plays like a diamond. You’d like carroll canyon to ridge

[@Sara.Jo.]

I’ll check that out next time in Sedona

[@kellybrady2990]

Yea… here in CO, it’s a def yield to uphillers. Even yield to uphill hikers, IMO. So much effort to climb, so much harder to restart! The few times I’ve forgotten this rule, I’ve gotten shade and some angry feedback from the uphiller. When we were living in CA, the rule didn’t seem to apply as stringently

[@Sara.Jo.]

It seems it’s different everywhere. In Arizona except Sedona it’s kind of a free for all it seems haha

[@user-zw5kq1fi4z]

Another good ride! I haven't yet watched all of your videos but I wonder if you talk about your bike in any of them? It would nice to know what you're riding in a given region.

[@Sara.Jo.]

I’ve only got one bike… Santa Cruz tallboy. I love it, works on such a large variety of trail for me…But yeah, someone wanted a gear video so I may make one of those for people curious

[@juanhidalgo7043]

Is there a ride in Sedona for Christmas?

[@Sara.Jo.]

Maybe 🤷‍♀️ weather looks good (warm) still for at least another week

[@randabuffer6562]

Your loud hub just broke the speaker on my phone lol 😁 (I9 hub?)

[@Sara.Jo.]

I know it’s loud af... It’s ethirteen. Came stock on the tallboy

[@randabuffer6562]

@@Sara.Jo.nice! It at least let’s people and snakes know to get the F out the way 😂

[@Sara.Jo.]

Hahaha true

[@rando4468]

I think Uphillers must always yield or move to the side and let downhiller go. Hopefully the downhill trail is downhill only. Hikers are in the same boat. That's what bells are good for I guess. My bell says " get out of the way Laddie" ;-)~

[@cccollarncuffs]

Do you ride ebike??

[@Sara.Jo.]

No I do not
