Feb 16, 2016 — Follow a flat, relaxing trail through open desert into a slowly narrowing canyon before ascending to get a nice view of Loy Canyon from above in Coconino National Forest, Arizona. Nearby Sedona doesn't interfere with the wilderness feel of this hike, though the hike itself isn't really much else to brag about. The hike passes by Loy Butte and then slowly ascends the canyon. Enjoy a stroll in a less-traveled area of Sedona until the end where the trail gains the majority of its elevation. The views get nice as you look down into Loy Canyon below. The Loy Canyon Trail ends at an unnamed saddle just below the Secret Mountain Trailhead.
