Village of Oak Creek Ride

Start in parking at Collective in VOC and turn right onto 179. At the roundabout turn right on Ridge Trail and a quick left on Crown Ridge. In about 1 mile turn right onto White Tail Dr and then a quick left on Deer Pass. When Deer Pass dead ends turn right and take to Verde Valley School Road and turn left. Stay on Verde Valley School Road until the pavement ends and then return the way you came back to the 179 roundabout. Head north on 179 (3rd roundabout exit) to Jacks Canyon Rd which is the first exit on the next roundabout you come to. Take to the top of  the hill and turn right (it remains Jacks Canyon) road until it dead ends. You have a choice of doing some more climbing and seeing some great Red Rock Views or turning around and heading back down Jacks Canyon. When Jacks Canyon ends you can turn right on Lee Mountain road and add 2 more miles with more nice views or head back down the hill taking the 3rd roundabout on 179 down to the Ranger Station for water and more beautiful views. Then head up 179 until you come to the Chapel roundabout and turn around and return to the Collective parking lot. Traffic conditions are always better earlier in the morning as traffic can get backed up on 179 all the way to the Ranger Station.
