Hogs Trail

Wednesday, May 18, 2016 by The Hike House 1 Comment

The Hike House Sedona Trail Rating System
Hogs Trail

One of the most underrated areas in Sedona is Munds Wilderness. Many people in the past would take on this area because the predominant trail for this area, Broken Arrow, is adjacent to a heavily traveled jeep road.

A new day has arrived…while you still must hike a portion of Broken Arrow to get to Hogs, the trail departs from the jeep chaos and brings you atop of a ridgeline to brings Munds Wilderness into full view. To have the entire Hogs experience you must tie into 4 different trails—Broken Arrow, High on the Hog, Hog Heaven and Hog Wash. In all, you will be covering 3.5 miles.

As you leave High of Hog, you will pick up Hog Heaven which takes you through a scenic saddle as you descend down the back side of Twin Buttes. As you reach the bottom of this descent you will then pick up Hogwash which will wrap around and back to the trailhead parking.

Hi Line Trail

Hi Line Trail

Great moderate trail that provides a unique view of Munds Wilderness and Cathedral Rock. Just when you thought you had seen all of Cathedral, this trail provides a unique view from the southeast side of this structure.

This trail starts out across the street from Bell Rock at a trailhead named Yavapai Vista. Finding Hi Line can be a little confusing since there are a series of short trails that are intertwined before you reach the trail. Regardless of which short trail you take, they all lead to Slim Shady Trail. Once you intersect Slim Shady head to the left and after a short distance you will see sign for Hi Line.

As you head up Hi Line Trail, you ascend halfway up the ridgeline before the trail flattens out. Once flat you will be hiking a 4-6 wide shelf…really cool. As you follow the shape of this unique ridge (Seven Warriors) you are graced with the wide open views of Sedona and Munds Wilderness. As you turn the corner halfway down the trail you will experience your first views of Cathedral—not sure seeing Cathedral can ever become commonplace.

Hi Line Trail continues past Cathedral and provides you with the opportunity to connect to Baldwin Trail, Templeton and Slim Shady for a 8.2 mile loop hike. For those willing to hike the 8.2 loop hike you are treated to beautiful section of trail along Oak Creek.

Hangover Trail

The Hike House Sedona Trail Rating System
Hangover Trail

One of the most dynamic trails to be added to the Sedona Hiking Trail System in years. For those who have appreciated Munds Wagon Trail and Cow Pies, this trail takes it to the next level.

I especially appreciate this trail because it is not for everyone and takes a level of commitment to truly the unlock the majesty of this trail. In order to access Hangover you must hike 1.7 miles up Munds Wagon Trail—you may attempt this portion but this is not recommended due to the current condition of the adjacent road (Schnebly Hike Road)

After 1.7 miles take the junction left onto Hangover Trail. You will slowly rise up a series of switchbacks as Mitten Ridge towers over you. Behold, you arrive in the saddle where Oak Creek Canyon unfolds before you very eyes. After a short, steep ascent the trail levels out as you hike a 4-6 foot shelf along the backside of Mitten Ridge.

As you near the end of Mitten Ridge the trail rises back up onto the Cow Pies saddle. Stay left as you descend down the backside. Follow Cow Pies as it will connect you back with Munds Wagon Trail. Be sure to bring your camera because this hike is truly spectacular.

Cathedral/Templeton Trail

The Hike House Sedona Trail Rating System
Cathedral / Templeton Trail

Here is how I know this is a great trail: A young man in love one day comes into the store and asks where would be a great place to propose to his girlfriend. I told him of this trail down by Oak Creek. He took his girlfriend to this place and she said “YES!” So that means this is a great trail. Cathedral/Templeton Trail is a romantic adventure. The majesty of Cathedral coupled with the beauty of Oak Creek and the cool canopied forest leading down to the creek make this a great hike for couples in love and families looking for a moderate adventure where the kids can jump around in the water. This is my wife’s favorite hike in the area and it embodies everything that is great in Sedona.

Chuck Wagon Trail

The Hike House Sedona Trail Rating System
Chuck Wagon Trail
Chuck Wagon Trail is more of a connector trail than a stand alone individual hiking trail. Chuck Wagon takes you through a low growth forest crossing through several arroyos along the way. The trail does have a tendency to “wander” a little bit due to it’s “mountain biking” roots—hikers tend to go on a straight route, while bikers attempt to lengthen a route to increase distance. Chuck Wagon is a great catalyst for linking longer adventures together. First, this trail provides excellent access to Devil’s Bridge. Second, trail connects Devil’s Bridge to Brins Mesa. Third, Brins Mesa to Mescal Trail/Boynton Canyon

Trail Data

Distance: 4.2/8.4 miles (One way/Round Trip)
