Distance and timing basis

The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.

Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.

Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.

  3. 3. Sedona

    Sedona's red rocks look so unreal that visitors often assume they have been lit for effect. Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, Courthouse Butte and a ring of cliffs the colour of rust and terracotta rise from the juniper and cypress woodland around the town, and in the early morning and at sunset, the light catches the sandstone and turns it fiery. The colour comes from iron oxide in the layers of rock, deposited over hundreds of millions of years, and then carved by wind and water into spires and buttes. About ten thousand people live in the town itself, at around 4,350 feet, in a place that has grown from a few orchards and a small post office in the early twentieth century, when it was named after Sedona Schnebly, the wife of an early settler.
