Expanding red geology as far as the eyes reach, partnered with abundant greenery and lovely Oak Creek make Sedona an exceptional place to visit, even if only for a couple of days. Hiking in Sedona should be at the top of your list of activities to partake in during your travel across Arizona. There are some remarkable hiking routes in Sedona, from physically taxing climbs that take you up to panoramic perspectives, to leisurely strolls through surprisingly green canyons with rewarding views at the end. No matter your experience and fitness level, Sedona has many trails to choose from.
In this guide, I’ll discuss our top choices for the nine finest hikes in Sedona – most of which we independently experienced on our personal trip there (though, regrettably, we didn’t have the time for them all) – along with helpful suggestions on parking, which direction to follow the trail, and more insights to help you plan the ideal Sedona adventure.

What to Pack to Hike in Sedona
While you’re in Sedona, you’re going to spend a lot of time either on a well-maintained path, or on all fours climbing a rock chute that’s nearly vertical. It can get rocky and slippery. It’s also probably going to be warm, unless you’re in Sedona during the depths of winter.
If you`re new to hiking but want to experience nature, check our guide on essential items to pack for a day trip on local trails.
- Robust Boots for Hiking: There are abundant rocky ascents and creek crossings in Sedona, meaning a pair of sturdy water-resistant hiking boots will serve you well. Alysha owns a set of Columbia Newton Ridge boots that work well for starters, while Matt favors his Salomon hiking boots ( these), which have endured over 500 miles across five years.
- Reusable Water Jugs: Sedona can become extremely hot, so staying hydrated during midday hikes is pivotal. We truly favor our Platypus collapsible water bottles, which prove ideal for hiking and travel alike. Plus, you won’t purchase disposable plastic bottles, sparing the environment! Pro-tip: Avoid those with clips – their seals degrade faster, resulting in leaks.
- A Sturdy Daypack: I cannot underscore how many people we saw toting bags, grocery sacks, and more improvised carriers for water, layers, and gear. Do yourself a favor and obtain a durable daypack for easily transporting essentials. REI makes an affordable option – their daypack. Alysha is partial to her Osprey Tempest 20 (the men`s version is the Talon 22).

The Best Hikes in Sedona, Arizona: A Complete Sedona Hiking Guide
We allocated the majority of our time in Sedona hiking, so we were capable of including a lot of hikes in the area. Whether you’re searching to explore a picturesque canyon, or a climb to a vista with panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes, you’ll find it below.
Here are the top hikes that we personally enjoyed in Sedona. We’ve listed them in order of our individual assessments, but keep in mind that not every trail below may suit all ages, experience, or fitness levels, so be sure to read the details of the trail to ensure the hike you select is appropriate for you.
West Fork of Oak Creek Trail
- Length: 6.5 miles
- Elevation Gain: 567 ft
- Trail Type: Out & Back
- Difficulty: Simple
- Location of trailhead
This was our preferred hike in Sedona, and it didn’t rank highly in proximity. Beginning early (refer to the parking section below regarding how we did that) and encountering precisely two people on the trip toward the trail`s end, which is undesignated and informal – theoretically the journey could keep continuing for a while if wearing water-resistant boots or sandals not minded obtaining somewhat wet.
The trail begins by passing the location of a historic, now demolished lodge where famous wealthy individuals used to vacation. There’s a sign explaining the history of the area, which included the fact that Grizzly Bears once inhabited Oak Creek Canyon! No longer – an angry man hunted and killed most of them after one killed his friend. What an inconsiderate person.
From there, a leisurely amble continues along Oak Creek, with the canyon walls towering hundreds of feet overhead.
There are 13 diverse creek intersections along the trail – most can easily be crossed by hopping from stone to stone or balancing on a log, yet your experience will be much more enjoyable if you have footwear that can withstand getting somewhat wet.
The canyon isn`t particularly narrow, and there are plenty of opportunities to capture photos, specially in the early morning when you can capture the reflection of the red rock canyon walls on the still waters of Oak Creek. There is also a lot of bird activity along the way – don`t miss the sign at the start before crossing the footbridge that explains the different types of birds you`ll come across.
We ended at a little grotto that looks like this (see above). We’re not sure if it’s the official end of the trail, but it seemed like a very pleasant place to sit down, have a snack, and enjoy the serenity of the canyon before the rest of the visitors arrived.
Parking for the West Fork of Oak Creek
Parking for this walk is somewhat intricate, but nothing you cannot handle if armed with complete instructions (we lacked these and consequently encountered issues, yet now provide them so you can benefit from our experiences!).
Vehicle access to the parking lot is restricted until 8am and there is a $11 fee to park here (free with the Red Rocks Pass, not covered by the America the Beautiful Pass). Approximately 30 spaces are available, usually filling shortly after 8am. No waiting is permitted along the road, so once full you must park further north.
Starting about a quarter mile north of the parking area, there are spots along the roadway. You can hike in from there, using the trail that is on the other side of the barrier on the western side of the road.
We hesitated to pay the $11 parking fee and the 8 am entry time, so we parked along the road at 7am and hiked in from there. Note that you’ll need to carry $2 per person in cash to pay the walk-in fee (use the envelopes at the entrance station if the booth isn’t occupied). We saw two people on the trail on the way out, and about 60 on the return trip when the gate had been opened.
It’s also worthwhile noting that turning left into the lot isn`t possible if you’re coming from the south (from a certain city). You’ll need to continue along a certain road until you can do a U-turn and enter from the north side.
The Boynton Canyon Trail
- Length: 6.1 miles
- Elevation Gain: 810 ft
- Trail Type: Out & Back
- Difficulty: Moderate
- Trailhead Location
The Boynton Canyon Trail might be the ideal hike. While challenging toward the endpoint as one makes the ascent to reach the trail`s end, it`s relatively tranquil and simple until that point. You meander through diverse ecosystems, starting in what feels more like the desert and finishing in a relatively dense (for Sedona) pine forest. The sole thing I would change regarding this trail is that, for the initial mile and a half approximately, you`re skirting the edges of a resort, which implies you can hear tennis balls and people yelling.
The parking area is relatively small, but we secured a spot in the late afternoon. There were hundreds of vehicles parked along the side of the road leading into the trailhead, so anticipate crowds.
Surprisingly, though, the crowds appeared to vanish once we reached the trail. We passed between 15-20 people along the way, which left us puzzling over exactly where the occupants of those automobiles were located. Perhaps they had parked there for the relatively distant Devil`s Bridge Trail? More on that below.
Bell Rock
This 1.1 mile hike that gains 400 feet in elevation is classified as moderate. It begins and ends at the Bell Rock Trailhead located at 34.8059847, -111.7687052. Amenities include:
- Length: 1.1 miles
- Elevation Gain: 400 ft
- Trail Type: Out & Back
- Difficulty: Moderate
- Trailhead Location: Bell Rock Trailhead
Note: There are numerous trails around Bell Rock ranging in length and difficulty – the hike we’re referring to here involves climbing up Bell Rock from the north side, which provides panoramic views to the north including Cathedral Rock and Courthouse Butte among other scenic spots.
This route is decidedly moderate despite its brevity because it necessitates some navigation and climbing in locations. You cannot scale the full height of Bell Rock, but you can ascend somewhere between half and two-thirds up the mountain before it got somewhat risky for us.
We followed the marked path from the parking area for approximately a quarter of a mile before the marked route basically ended, and some route-finding skills would be required. To provide context, we stayed to the right, but came across two women at the top who had arrived from a completely different direction.
Parking at the trailhead is fairly limited, so we’d recommend arriving early in the morning, or later in the afternoon once the number of people has decreased (we were there at 3 pm and it was relatively calm compared to some other trails in Sedona).
The Soldier Pass Trail
- Length: 5.0 miles (more if you park far away from the starting point)
- Elevation Gain: 850 ft
- Trail Type: Loop
- Difficulty: Moderate
- Location of trailhead
Before discussing anything else, we must address the parking situation for the Soldier Pass Trail, which is less than ideal. At best, parking availability is limited. At worst, it`s aggravating. However, fear not – we have a solution to manage the parking challenges with minimal hassle.
Parking for the Soldier Pass Trail
The main trailhead is situated in a residential area with very luxurious homes. The parking area contains precisely fourteen spaces with no more or less. An electronic gate closes the entrance each night and reopens promptly at 8 am.
The local residents (somewhat understandably) don’t want large numbers of people parking in front of their homes and walking through their neighborhood to get to the trailhead, so there’s a strictly enforced prohibition on parking on the streets there – IT IS INADVISABLE TO DO THIS, AS YOU WILL LIKELY RECEIVE EITHER A TICKET OR HAVE YOUR VEHICLE TOWED AWAY.
The nearest area to park, other than the trailhead itself, was just outside of the Sedona Dog Park, which was roughly 1.2 miles away, adding 2.4 miles to your hike round trip. On occasion, a hiker shuttle that operates based on tips (via cash, Venmo, or the Cash App), may swing by and pick you up, but I wouldn’t rely on it.
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT PARK at the dog park itself, which has a one hour parking limit. It’s the parallel parking spots just west of the park along Carruth drive.
In any case, I know what you may be thinking. “Great! We’ll arrive early to ensure we secure a spot in the lot!” I know that is what you may be considering because it is EXACTLY what we were contemplating. We showed up sometime between 7:00 and 7:15 am simply to hang out in the car and wait for the gate to open. Sounds good, right?!
It was so, until those who had taken it upon themselves to monitor the neighborhood unofficially (I’m assuming here, but that was the impression we received) arrived to loudly instruct us (also with exaggerating “shooing” gestures) and the car awaiting clearance to the gate patiently. Then, they parked his pickup truck in the space, and frowned at us as we drove away.
Here is a brief expression of frustration regarding such behaviors. I fully comprehend the annoyance with tourists overrunning the roads and trails of one`s hometown. Indeed, I appreciate the sentiment – I resided in San Francisco for a decade and took the cable car to work, so visitors can certainly be bothersome. However, on how many occasions was I rude to a tourist during that time? Precisely none. Why is that? Because tourists play an significant role in the local economy, and I like to view myself as a basically kind human being. If you purchase a home in a town renowned amongst visitors, do not be shocked to discover tourists inhabiting your town. In this scenario, nobody was acting with malicious or deceptive intent, or doing anything to harm others at all, really. It was purely an act of asserted authority, and it obviously troubled me considering I had just spent quite a bit discussing the topic.
But the real query here is what should you do to prevent an unpleasant situation like what we encountered?
We have four recommendations for you, ordered by our preference level.
- Without question, the preferable approach – and the route we ultimately selected – was to park our vehicle west of the nearby dog exercise area (not directly at the dog park itself, where parking is limited to one hour, but along the adjacent roadway where parking runs parallel to the curb) and traverse the 1.2 mile distance to the trailhead on foot. Arriving prior to 8am essentially ensures you`ll have the path to yourselves. Aiming to park and begin your hike by 7:15am provides roughly 30 minutes to gain a half hour head start over those awaiting spaces in the main lot.
- Park at the trailhead accessible via Jordan Road and traverse the circuit from that vantage point. The additional mileage is negligible given the trailhead`s proximate location along the route anyway, starting from a different place. The catch here is the subpar road conditions, so if your vehicle has limited clearance (as ours did) or you lack confidence on rough roads in a rental car, this option may not suit your needs. This lot lacks timed restrictions, granting potential for early arrival.
- Aim to reach the main lot between 7:30 and 7:45am to queue for one of the initial 14 parking spaces and hope to avoid both a) missing out on a spot and b) receiving polite requests to search elsewhere from neighborhood surveillance. Failing to land one of those early fourteen stalls, or being cordially asked to depart, simply return to park near the dog park and walk (or come back right before 8am for another attempt.
- Residing locally or nearby, you could employ ridesharing services both ways between your lodging and the trailhead to bypass parking concerns altogether, but it will cost you considerably ($20-30 total roundtrip).
The Soldier Pass – Brins Mesa Loop
The hike itself is pleasant, and the best way to do it is the loop up and around to connect with the Brins Mesa Trail. If you do it early, go clockwise so that you encounter the three main sights before the crowds arrive.
The highlights of this trail are:
- The initial feature encountered shortly after embarking on the trail, less than a quarter mile from the starting point, is known as Devil`s Kitchen. This sizable indentation in the earth was formed by geological processes explained on an informational sign located on the east side.
- Approximately half a mile along the route brings visitors to the seven sacred pools, though their photographic appeal may vary depending on recent rainfall and the current day.
- At the 1.2 mile mark while circling clockwise, a detour leads up to a couple caverns that can be climbed into. Reaching the caves necessitates some scrambling and then a vertical ascent up a slick rock wall with partial rope assistance. The climb into the cave is not advised for anyone lacking bravery or wearing improper footwear. Exploring nearby could uncover additional features in this area.
After exploring the caves, continuing upward to Soldier’s Pass is recommended, where pleasant perspectives backward along the route previously traversed may be observed. From this vantage point – and by this point, wherever the decision is made to change course because there is little set conclusion if traveled roundtrip – the choice can be made either to retrace steps covered before, or round out the route employing the Brins Mesa Trail. It is marginally more prolonged but introduces fresh scenery, and full circuits are superior to single directions, at minimum according to our view!
If parking at the alternate trailhead at Jordan Road, you should absolutely do the loop, which will be shorter from this point.
Devil’s Bridge Trail
- Length: 4 miles
- Elevation Gain: 550 ft
- Trail Type: Out & Back
- Difficulty: Easy / Moderate
- Trailhead Location
This is one of the more popular hikes in Sedona. To give you a taste of just how crowded this trail is, we arrived at the trailhead at 6:15 am, thinking we were well-prepared, and secured THE FINAL spot in the lot. At 6:15 am. On a Tuesday. In April. Quite remarkable. When we left, cars were parked along the road for at least a half mile in either direction.
You should also know that, despite arriving before 7 am, we had to wait 30-40 minutes to take a picture on the bridge. The line moves relatively slowly because groups must walk out on the wider than expected bridge, take their photos, and return, which repeats for the approximately 20-30 groups in line. This process will inevitably take some time.
While there, a couple arrived at the end of the line, asked if everyone was waiting to take photos, and then walked to the front of the line essentially bypassing the queue because…they felt they deserved it? Don`t emulate that behavior. You know a line will form going in. Patiently wait your turn.
To be straightforward, we think there are improved hikes to complete. The bridge is relatively cool – don`t get us wrong – but you can access equally spectacular views on other nearby hikes.
The trail itself is extremely simple until the last quarter mile, where you’ll climb some stone steps to reach the bridge itself. For the initial portion of the hike, we’d advise pursuing the forest road at the entrance to the parking lot, which makes it a 3.9 mile round trip walk. You can also take the Chuckwagon trail and cut over to the forest road after about a quarter mile, or take the Chuckwagon Trail all around (which makes it practically six miles).
Parking for the Devil’s Bridge Trail
There are three ways to handle parking for this hike. We will not include parking at the trailhead at the base of the hike, which is at the end of a very rough road that is only passable by vehicles with high clearance and experience navigating on rough terrain, limiting access for most.
- Arrive at the main parking area by 6 am. It will likely need to be earlier during the summer months, which seems unbelievable to me. An alternative is showing up around 9:00 or 10:00 am and hoping that people leaving are vacating their space so you can obtain their spot, but “hope” is not truly a good plan here.
- Park at the nearby Mescal Trailhead and connect to the Devil`s Bridge Trail via the Chuckwagon Trail. The distance is approximately the same as hiking from the main parking lot, and it is far less busy. Though, it is a small parking area with only a handful of spaces.
- Park along Dry Creek Road and walk in, picking up the trail at the forest road that branches off from the entrance of the trailhead. Be sure to park safely off the road, and take care walking along the road.
Fay Canyon
- Length: 2.6 miles
- Elevation Gain: 400 ft
- Trail Type: Out & Back
- Difficulty: Easy
- Trailhead Location
This hike provides an easy, accessible alternative to the often crowded Boynton Canyon Trail. We’d say this is well suited for families. Seeing as we saw a toddler successfully completing the hike in pink sunglasses and flip flops, we think it’s suitable for nearly all people (though you should still bring plenty of water on a hot day).
The trail winds through the canyon, staying mostly flat along the journey. It’s partially shaded, but there are definitely some sections where you’ll be in full sun, so apply sunscreen and wear a sun hat!
There is a detour along the trail which allows one to climb upwards towards an obscured architectural feature, which is indistinguishable as an arch until approaching it directly from below. This section of the route varies from easy to moderate difficulty, and may not be suitable for families with young children or inexperienced hikers. It involves considerable ascending over slippery rocks and narrow passages which could present dangers without proper footwear or trail experience.
Even MORE Great Hikes in Sedona
While we didn’t personally get an opportunity to experience these hikes, here are even more hikes that are on our list for our next trip.
The Cathedral Rock Trail
- Extension: 1.2 miles
- Altitude Increase: 720 ft
- Trail Type: Out & Back
- Difficulty: Moderate / Hard
- Trailhead Location
Look – this is an iconic Sedona hike, but when we arrived at 4 pm on a weekday and saw a long line of vehicles, then looked up to the trail and saw hundreds of people all tackling the semi-scramble at the same time, Alysha and I looked at each other and said “do we REALLY need to do this one?” And the answer turned out to be “NOPE!” Still, the views from the saddle of Cathedral Rock are quite spectacular.
The entire route involves scrambling, giving this trail a fairly challenging designation that is more difficult than initially expected.
Alternative Approach: A better route for this hike is to park at the Baldwin Trailhead (a somewhat rough road but passable in most vehicles if taken cautiously) and hike from there. You`ll have much less competition for parking. This journey is 4.4 miles and climbs 1,000 feet, but you`ll enjoy magnificent scenery of Cathedral Rock along most of the initial section of the trail since it`s directly in front. It follows the river east towards Cathedral Rock, where it intersects with the trail ascending to the saddle.”>
Bear Mountain Trail
- Distance: 5.0 miles
- Elevation Gain: 2,000 ft
- Trail Type: Out & Back
- Difficulty: Challenging
- Trailhead Location
If escaping the perpetual crowds in Sedona while seeking an adventurous hike, the Bear Mountain Trail may appeal.
It’s the most troublesome climb on this rundown – by a considerable amount – which implies it’s likewise the least-gone by trail highlighted here. It’s 5 miles round trip, and over the 2.5 mile excursion to the top, you’ll climb 2,000 feet. This trail is FIRMLY in the “difficult” classification.
Begin early – it starts getting warm between March and October between 9 and 10 am, and you don`t want to be doing this ascent in the heat of the day.
Sights at the highest point are amazing, and are worth the attempt it takes to arrive.
Broken Arrow Trail
- Duration: 2.8 miles
- Elevation Gain: 400 ft
- Path Type: Out & Back
- Difficulty: Easy / Moderate
- Trailhead Location
This is primarily known as a 4×4 road, which is why we weren’t super excited about hiking it. It’s relatively short and easy with spectacular views throughout – including Mushroom Rock and the Chicken Point Overlook – and is less busy by hikers than some of the other hikes on this list. However, the Pink Jeep Tours frequently drive along this trail, which can get a bit irritating.
The Best Easy Hikes in Sedona
If you’re looking for an effortless hike in Sedona, our top picks are:
- The West Fork Trail of Oak Creek: Though the hike is officially listed as 6.5 miles long, it is fairly uncomplicated and young children could be seen making the journey. You have the option to stop at any point along the way, allowing for customization based on ability. The most challenging section involves crossing the creek, though this presents little difficulty if wearing water-resistant footwear to avoid getting feet wet.
- The Fay Canyon Path: As mentioned previously, this trail offers a pleasant wander through the beauty of Fay Canyon, which some may find equally as lovely as the more popular canyons in the area like Boynton. A toddler was observed handling it well while sporting exceptionally cool rose-shaped sunglasses, making it suitable for families with little ones.
- The Boynton Canyon Trail: We would classify this as “easy” until the final quarter mile or so increases in rockiness and elevation. The first four to five miles pass through shaded parts of the canyon with ample resting spots, presenting little challenge for most.
When to Visit Sedona
One reason Sedona is so great is that the weather is quite pleasant throughout most of the year.
Summer: It can get warm in Sedona over the summer – but you’re situated at 4,000 feet altitude, which means it won’t be as hot as, say, Phoenix. In the summer, starting early on the trail and drinking plenty of water is recommended. If you’ve never been to Arizona in the summer before, you’ll also experience monsoon rains in the afternoon, which can bring precipitation and thunderstorms every single day at the same time.
Fall and Spring: We were in Sedona in the spring season, and the weather conditions were quite suitable. Daytime temperatures were usually in the 70`s Fahrenheit, while nights saw lows in the 40`s and 50`s. Not too warm and not too cold – perfect conditions for hiking! Though, it is a highly popular time to visit, expect large crowds (truly so many people) and book your lodging in Sedona quite early in advance. Weather in autumn and spring is going to be somewhat less predictable than summer, but April through June actually sees the lowest precipitation levels. Fall receives more precipitation than spring, yet October and November are exceptionally pleasant times to explore Sedona.
Winter: Temperatures will be significantly cooler than the fall and spring periods, but it will still generally be in the 50s and 60s Fahrenheit during the day, occasionally dropping down near or below freezing for some days at a time. This might not be the best time for camping in Sedona, but if you have a nice warm hotel room to return to after a day of hiking, it won’t be too uncomfortable. Plus, you might get to see the red rocks with a light dusting of snowfall, which will be incredibly beautiful! This is also the low season in terms of large crowds, so some of the issues from too many people might be less of an issue for you during the winter months.
Overtourism in Sedona
I want to briefly discuss the apparent overtourism impacting Sedona.
There is no debate that Sedona faces a dilemma confronting places like Bend, Oregon and Boise, Idaho (along with many comparable communities) over the past decade – tourists bolster the local economy but also negatively impact the community of Sedona and its surrounding natural wonders.
My outlook is this: I don’t believe that the natural beauty of Sedona’s hiking paths should only be experienced by locals who have the means to live there. In my view (and I’ve been known to be incorrect about things previously, so take this with a grain of skepticism) more individuals experiencing the organic wonder that our country has to offer is ultimately beneficial, and has the potential to motivate people to safeguard it at all costs, if for no other rationale than wishing to selfishly experience it for themselves.
However, I also acknowledge that we need to cooperatively, as visitors in someone else’s home, mitigate the downsides that come with tourism. Here are three actions you can take to experience Sedona responsibly.
- Follow Leave No Trace Principles. On hiking trails, carry in and carry out using reusable containers rather than leaving disposable items behind. I witnessed discarded plastic bottles, citrus peels, and toilet paper scattered along the route. The most respectful thing is to pack out what you pack in until reaching a trash can at the trailhead. It`s a simple way to keep natural areas pristine.
- Keep to Marked Paths. While stopping to photograph scenery beyond the trail may seem appealing, straying from the route damages plantlife in fragile ecosystems that give these places their distinctive character. For their protection, please remain on the walking path.
- Consider Alternatives to Short-Term Rentals. In areas like Bend and Sedona, housing availability and affordability is declining partly due to the spread of temporary lodging platforms. As a celiac disease patient needing kitchen facilities, vacation rentals have benefitted me. However, I`m realizing their downsides outweigh benefits especially in tourism hotspots like Sedona where entire neighborhoods function as temporary accommodations, reducing space for long-term community members. Opt for hotels or campgrounds instead.
There are some scenic locations in Sedona that have become widely shared on social media. I`ll admit, after seeing pictures of these places I wanted to see them for myself! However, in the guide below you won`t find exact coordinates or directions, which means you`ll need to do some exploring and investigating on your own – and that`s all part of the fun experience!
That covers our recommendations! We think you will truly appreciate Sedona – just be sure to start early to beat both the stifling heat and large crowds that flock to town in springtime.
