“A rocky trail that skirts the southeast edge of the Sedona Airport. Great views.”

Description

Airport Loop South climbs steadily from Bandit trail. This route has several rocky sections to navigate. As the trail comes to Tabletop, it levels out and has great views of the Oak Creek Valley.

From Tabletop, Airport Loop South traverses the southeastern edge of the Sedona Airport. The route is up and down with a steady dose of rocks all the way to the Brewer trail intersection. Stay left to connect Airport Loop North back to Bandit.
