Where

We will lift up our eyes to the mountains where our brief escape from the imminent heat can be found. Come join us for this scenic hike north of Sedona. The Jim Thompson Trail is a wider than usual trail because it was used as a wagon road in the 1880’s by Jim Thompson himself. He built the road to connect his home in Oak Creek Canyon with his Sedona homestead.   Surrounded by manzanitas and pine trees that contrast Sedona’s red rock, it’s simply beautiful.   See the Jim Thompson Trail site for more details.

When

Groups will start hiking at 9:00 AM and everyone should be done by 12:00 PM. Please plan to be at the registration tables by 8:30 AM to be assigned to your group so we can start hiking on time.

Hiking

This hike will include 4 levels of hiking. You will sign up for a level when registering.  The levels are listed below, or see levels of difficulty for more details.  Remember to bring lots of water.  Although the weather is cooler and more refreshing, you will still need to stay hydrated.

Jackrabbits – For the serious, go-fast hiker who desires the challenge of speed and distance (5 to 8 miles) and prefers to race past the sagebrush rather than smell it!

Coyotes – For the recreational hiker who desires energetic physical activity (4 to 7 miles) and the opportunity to stop and smell the sagebrush.

Prairie Dogs – For the casual hiker and families who desire exercise (3 -4 miles) and are happy to stop and smell the sagebrush while getting it.

Geckos – For the person or family new to hiking or just coming back from a long time away.  Hikes are approximately 2 miles in length of relatively flat terrain.
