I did the Black Mountain / Telephone pole trail and really liked it. Beautiful vistas, no one on the trail. Can be done in a stock vehicle, maybe 1-2 spots you need to be careful.
Also, House Mountain is awesome. You can see all of Sedona at the top. Not much to see along the way like Black Mountain / Telephone pole trail. I did House Moutnain in my TRDP no issues.
There is also Smiley Rock, which is rated difficult. You will get AZ pinstriping along the way on that trail. It starts in Jerome, AZ. I haven't done Smiley, it was recommended by Steve Sonoran.
There is also Greasy Spoon, which is a good trail and popular. There are 1-2 spots where it gets a moderately difficult.
Also, there is a trail just west of Sedona that goes down into Oak Creek with an old fallen down brick cabin at the end. One part is rated difficult but that has been smoothed over. It is a fun trail, and has a little of everything.
If you wanted me to recommend a trail, it would be the Telephone pole trail by far. You could spend all day up there on Black Mountain and connecting trails. It's pretty rocky getting to the top, I turned around because I couldn't take it anymore.

[MENTION=79826]absalom[/MENTION] - oh quit whining! There's this thing called an alarm clock. I'm already up and on my second cup of coffee and I didn't get to bed until 12:30...
See you all at Einsteins!

As usual, Sedona was a blast. The mud definitely made it a bit more challenging along with coating all my wheel wells with that wonderful red muck!
I didn't get a chance to take many pictures, but I did get one of everyone coming down Devils Staircase. I'll try and get that up on youtube tomorrow.

Just a tip, but when quoting posts with pictures, it's considered polite to remove the pictures from the body of the post. This way viewers don't have to see the exact same pictures two or more times in a row. Mobile users thank you in advance.
