    The Soldier Wash Loop is a fun trail with gorgeous desert scenery. It’s not as busy as many other hikes in Sedona are, making it a great pick on weekends when more popular trails are packed. You’ll need to share this trail with mountain bikers, but the views make it worth it.

    Note that this trail is well signed, but mostly for mountain bikers. There isn’t signage for this trail as it’s known to hikers. Bring a map of your own or download a GPS track to follow.

    From the trailhead, take Crusty Trail to the right. You’ll take a left onto Grand Central Trail, which runs right through the wash. Continue straight on here, going straight through where Manzanita Trail intersects and then again where Powerline Plunge intersects.

    Take a left onto ant Hill Loop Trail and then a right onto Jordan Trail. Stay left onto Javelina and head back to the road, turning right onto Crusty again to reach the trailhead.
