Specialized Video Celebrates the Creation of Sedona's Hardline Trail
Briefly

Hard Line, a trail envisioned by Lars Romig in 2017, has become Sedona's most challenging biking trail, featuring a thrilling double-black diamond rating. Specialized Bicycles produced a 20-minute documentary titled "The Hard Line," highlighting the collaborative efforts of volunteers and local agencies. The film explores the trail's development, discussing geology, environmental impact, and the design process. Despite the trail's notorious 60-foot drop, a bypass ensures accessibility for capable riders. The joint efforts of the U.S. Forest Service and local cycling organizations were instrumental in completing this unique addition to the Sedona trail system.
The Hardline Trail is a double-black diamond trail, but it's also, like, artistic and what nature in Sedona has created.
The documentary goes into the geology, environmental impact concerns, federal coordination, volunteer work and many other aspects it takes to bring a successful trail to completion.
Agencies and groups that worked together to bring Hardline online are the U.S. Forest Service, Summit to Sea Trails, The Red Rock Trail Crew, Verde Valley Cyclists Coalition, and the Sedona Red Rock Trail Fund.
Enjoy this expertly produced film that showcases what it takes to create a sanctioned trail, and gives proper due to all of the parties involved in making this phenomenal trail.
