The Sedona Montezuma Loop is an amazing ride in central Arizona.  Starting in Sedona, this loop follows Oak Creek upstream through a narrow canyon.  Along the way there are several places to stop and play in the water or just take in the sights.  Eventually this road climbs up and out of the canyon on a series of switchbacks  to the plateau above.

 

On the outskirts of Flagstaff, the route turns and follows the contours of the land past Lake M, the Lowell Observatory around Mormon Lake and into the Coconino National Forest.  This stretch of the ride is relaxing and scenic as there are wooded areas interspersed with open fields.

 

Eventually the terrain becomes hillier and the route becomes curvier before exiting the forest for the open desert on the Zane Grey Highway.  The road slowly descends and eventually reaches the town of Camp Verde, home of the Montezuma Castle National Monument.

 

Upon leaving Cape Verde, there is a short stretch on Interstate 17 before jumping off and taking back roads through the desert back to Sedona.
