This route starts in Sedona. It will first visit one of Arizona's wine producing regions in Page Springs and Cornville. These sleepy hamlets are beautiful hidden spots. After wine come the climbs! We will start our first ascent of Mingus Mountain by riding through the hippy town of Jerome. It's a fun town to visit, but we'll just pass thru as we head up to the 7030' summit. Take a look around on the 10 mile descent because you'll be going back up it in a couple hours. We'll take a quick tour of Prescott Valley while our legs recover a bit. Soon we'll be climbing Mingus the "easy" way back to the summit. The descent down to Cottonwood is some of the most fun you can have on a bike! The route takes the "scenic route" back to Sedona by going back thru Cornville then riding straight into the Red Rock beauty of the Village of Oak Creek and Sedona. Don't forget your cameras! Terrain: The route is heavy on the climbing with summits of Mingus Mtn in both directions. There are also plenty of other climbs that don't show up in the profile, but will be very apparent in your legs. Don't burn too many matches too early. Just enjoy the beauty of Arizona's high country.

It kinda looks like there are only 2 climbs. That would be a lie! Requirements Lights: We will start in daylight so lights and reflective vest/ankle bands are not required at the start.
