Trail stats on this page come from the Forest Service's own trail pages, not crowdsourced averages — so the numbers are lower than the ones you'll see on apps, and they're the official ones. Each listing also answers the two questions that actually ruin Sedona days: which pass works here, and whether you can park at the trailhead at all. The broad Pocket Fire closure lifted July 31, but a few trails and Oak Creek sites remain closed — check the current list before you plan anything.
Compare the paved-lot approaches and shuttle before choosing your route. Dry Creek Trail No. 52 is a separate closed trail.
