Runner Notes

Seems easy to run

Description

Either use two cars, or park at the Sedona end of the run and take an Uber/Lyft to the start at the Long Canyon trailhead. I advise that you dont go the other way, because there's little/no signal at the Long Canyon Trail to summon a ride.

Start off on Chuckwagon, running clockwise. This trail is open to bikes, so watch out at blind turns. At the northernmost point of Chuckwagon theres a sign to Brins Mesa Trail. Cross two sections of Forest road 152 to find Brins Mesa Trail. From there it's a slow climb to the Mesa. Pass the end of Soldier Pass Trail to arrive at spectacular views. continue and descent a fairly steep trail all the way to the trailhead. It's about a one mile run along quiet roads to downtown Sedona from there.

It will be hard to keep your eyes on the trail with views this good on the descent from Brins Mesa to Sedona.
