For the sixth year, AZCentral.com experts have picked their favorite people, places, businesses, and things to do! The Lime Kiln Trail was completed in 2006, linking Dead Horse Ranch State Park (Cottonwood) with Red Rock State Park(Sedona). The Lime Kiln Trail is a 15-mile shared-use, non-motorized and permit equestrian trail. The Lime Kiln leg follows a portion of the historic Lime Kiln Wagon Road. Originally the Lime Kiln road provided access to a Kiln that was constructed in the 1800s. The Kiln was used to burn limestone to create lime used as an ingredient of the mortar needed to construct fireplaces and chimneys. Soon after the construction of the kiln, the road was extended and used as a route between Sedona and Jerome. The remains of the kiln can still be seen beside the trail. Download Lime Kilm Trail Map
