Sedona’s Red Rock Trails Are A Gift
Help Keep Them Alive
The 400+ miles of non-motorized trails in Sedona’s Red Rock Country aren’t just a public treasure—they’re a gift made possible by generous donors, caring businesses, and community partners. These trails welcome over 3 million visitors each year, offering unforgettable access to Sedona’s natural beauty. But maintaining them—amid erosion, weather, and heavy use—costs nearly $1 million annually. Federal funds cover only 8%. The rest?
It comes from people who care. With reduced Forest Service funding, our trail system survives only because of private donations. The Sedona Red Rock Trail Fund exists to ensure this gift remains open and thriving for all.

If you love these trails, now is the time to give back.
Protect the experience. Preserve the legacy.
