🌧️ Summer storms can take a toll on Sedona’s trails.

If you encounter significant trail damage this summer, please let us know. A small group of VVCC volunteers is working with Sam from the Red Rock Trail Crew to help address major trail damage as it arises.

Recent reports and repairs include:
🌲 Trees down on AZ Cypress
🪨 A rock slide cleared on Rodeo
💧 Bandit Wash repairs

If you spot fallen trees, significant washouts, rockslides, or other trail damage that is making it not passable, DM or tag and we’ll pass the information along to . Photos and the location is a must - pull the GPS coordinates from your photos.

A huge thank you to Sam & the volunteers helping keep Sedona’s trails open, safe, and sustainable through the summer months. 🙌

The landscape is telling us something. It’s time we listen.

Starting this week (April 22) and continuing through the summer, many social trails throughout the Turkey Creek area will be closed and restored.

These aren’t random closures. They’re necessary and planned as part of the significant trail expansion at Turkey Creek - as outlined in the Red Rock Trails Access Plan - Phase 2.

Unmanaged social trails are:
• Damaging fragile meadow ecosystems (some of the rarest in Sedona)
• Contributing to sediment runoff into the Oak Creek watershed
• Accelerating erosion across the landscape

Over time, these impacts add up, and they’re not sustainable.

In the coming weeks, you’ll hear directly from partners across the Red Rock Ranger District about the why behind this work - what’s at stake, and what we’re working to protect.

But here’s the part that matters most right now:

Closures only work if we respect them.

When barriers are moved or trails are re-opened, it undoes the restoration work and prolongs the damage.

We’re asking the community - hikers, MTB riders, equestrian, runners, all of us who love this place - to help protect it.

👉 Respect the closures
👉 Help spread the word

This is how we take care of the places we love together.
