No trail epitomizes Sedona more than Hangover, a masterpiece of engineering that ascends cliff-sheer slickrock ramps to access a narrow terrace clinging to the side of a rocky butte. With dizzying views, puckering exposure, and brake-frying behind-the-saddle descents, this one is for experts only. Cheers to the Red Rock Forest Service for recognizing mountain bikes and constructing one of the most unique trails in the world. Start at the Schnebly Hill/Huckaby parking lot, and climb up the dirt road instead of the trail, which will save energy for the techy stuff on Cow Pies and Hangover. From the road, a few gut-check steep climbs are possible to claw up only because of red-rock traction. Be sure to take a break at the saddle before tackling the technical traverse ahead, then another break at the second saddle for unparalleled views over the red rock playground below. Though there are no major descents, the downhills are extremely steep —trust the red rock for traction and look ahead!  Back on the valley floor, work your way to Munds Wagon, which is mostly a descent back with a few short, punchy climbs. Keep your guard up for surprise rock gardens. At the parking lot, celebrate the best Hangover you’ll ever have! Let us help you plan your ride!
