Starting from the Yavapai Vista parking lot you'll climb up towards Slim Shady. This downhill is one of Sedona's best. You'll find the flow - just stay loose and pump over the features Hit the Templeton intersection and take this to Easy Breezy. You'll hit a little bit of tech and some more flow as you continue back to where Easy Breezy meets Templeton. Climb back out via Hermit to the parking lot.
