If you're still not sure if you want to take on Hiline, try this loop first. From the Yavapai Vista parking lot, climb Kaibab to Yavapai to gain the high point of Slim Shady. Head south and descend Slim Shady to the Made in the Shade intersection. Climb up this black diamond trail for some glimpses of Sedona exposure and technical climbing look like. If you feel solid on this then you'll be good for Hiline. Descend the slick rock back to Slim Shady and hang a left to head back north on Slim. End the ride here at Yavapai or continue down the north side of Slim Shady, rally through the rock gardens and find your flow through one of the most fun downhills in Sedona. Take Templeton and Easy Breezy back to Hermit and to the parking lot.
