The Sedona Trails & Pathways System (ST&PS, say “steps”) is a city-wide network of non-motorized, shared-use pathways that are used by bicyclists, walkers, hikers, runners, and other users for both recreation and transportation. This does not include forest trails.

At present there are about 4.5 miles of ST&PS in Sedona. The overall master plan shows about 36 miles of future trails and pathways. Pathways with high levels of traffic are expected to be concrete and those with lower levels of traffic are expected to be a stabilized decomposed granite surface. ST&PS pathways are generally eight or ten feet in width.

Range of Experience

ST&PS trails and pathways will offer an incredibly diverse range of experiences; some will be located along busy streets, while others will traverse the beautiful natural landscape - all within the urban area of Sedona. The system will connect neighborhoods, shopping, places of employment, schools, parks, open space, and the surrounding National Forest, and allow users to combine transportation, recreation and contact with nature.

More than 36 miles of planned, future ST&PS trails and pathways are depicted on the GO Sedona Master Plan. The plan includes trails and pathways for all areas of Sedona; and describes the process for determining priorities for future improvements.

Survey

According to the 2022 City of Sedona Community Survey, more than 8 in 10 residents strongly support or somewhat support the expansion of bicycle and pedestrian paths to create city-wide connectivity. The number of Sedona residents who believe ease of travel by bicycle is good increased from 36% in 2020 Survey to 46% in 2022. Similarly, the number of residents who believe ease of walking is good in Sedona increased from 58% to 61%. The City remains focused on improving mobility throughout Sedona by making improvements through our capital improvement program.
