An Overview of the Experience

We loved the way this tour starts with a visit to an Amitabha Buddhist Stupa, a peaceful spiritual site perched in Sedona’s greenbelt. It’s a serene introduction and offers a glimpse into the area’s cultural depth. From there, the ride takes you to the nearby 7 Sacred Pools and Devils Kitchen trailhead, which you can explore afterward on your own if you wish. The tour does not hike into these pools but shows you where they are, making it a quick, scenic stop that’s great for photos or a future hike.

Next, the route takes you to the Cultural Park, an area that showcases Sedona’s indigenous and local art and history. Then, you’ll cycle past the Picture Tree off Red Rock Loop—a favorite spot for photographers—and finish along the Red Rock Loop with views of Cathedral Rock. The final moments of the ride are timed to catch the sunset, which adds a spectacular glow to the landscape, making your photos pop.

The whole route is on paved trails and roads, making it accessible and comfortable, especially for those who might shy away from rugged terrain. The ride is about 2 hours, usually in the late afternoon or early evening, depending on the sunset schedule.
