First, park at the Mescal Trailhead. More parking and to/from Devils Bridge is 4 miles round trip. Devils Bridge is amazing. We weren’t sure if we would stand on it, but we did. Got some great pictures. Hike is very easy except for the last 1/4 quarter mile. Must do, if in Sedona.

Really enjoyed this hike! It was moderately difficult. It can be easy to trip, so definitely watch where you are going. Make sure to use the restroom before the hike. The view is phenonomal! There is no service, so make sure to go with another person for safety reasons. The hike took about 3 hours in total for my friends and me to complete, this includes the wait time to take pictures on the bridge. The actual bridge isn't as scary when on it, but still be careful! Will definitely recommend this hike! Loved it!

It’s 1.8 miles but take into account elevation 4,600 with a 400 ft increase and 672 rock steps at the final accent to the bridge. We started on the trail but found it wasn’t well marked and eventually returned to the road and went from there. While the end is beautiful I would mark it as challenging over moderate

We had to do the iconic hike because we were in Sedona😍 Parked on highway, as parking lot full. Took Chuck Wagon Trail to Devils Bridge trail. Honestly felt like A LOT of unnecessary walking to get to the $&@- bridge but may be because we weren’t sure where we were going at first. Ended up being WAY longer than anticipated due to lack of parking. Other than that the actual hike was fun and quite exciting for one of our family members who is really afraid of heights. It was fun to see her work through her fear. The bridge is not scary when you are standing on it. It is much scarier watching people walk on it!

We hiked to Devil’s Bridge from the Mescal Trailhead. Majority of that hike is easy with only a few spots needing a bit of agility. Once you reach the Devil’s Bridge trailhead parking lot you start gaining altitude and the hike gets harder. The last part requires some climbing up some steep, mostly natural rock steps. Once you get to the bridge the view is awesome and you can walk out onto the natural bridge. Descent down the rock steps is a bit trickier than the climb up. My wife and two teenage daughters are not “hikers” by any means but we made the round trip with plenty of time at the bridge in 3-1/4 hours. Tip: BRING WATER! Saw lots of people without any. Only reason I didn’t give this full stars is the difficulty of the last piece of trail. More experienced hikers/climbers will probably rate trail higher.

Done this hike with young adults. Not gonna lie at first I was definitely intimidated. Not a bad hike we went in thru the Mescal Trailhead for an additional parking option if the Devils Bridge trailhead is full. Hike had some scrambling but nothing to bad.

It's like an amusement park ride. You stand in line, hand your camera to someone behind you and wait for people to go out & get their pictures taken by someone waiting behind them. If it's a group of people they will usually go back and forth a few times switching out ppl in their group and trying to get the 'best' pics It can be annoying. If you can find someone to catch a 4wd ride with to a closer parking area, it makes the hike easier. It is quite strenuous getting up there. Lots of ppl with short-legged dogs were having to carry the dog and hike and weren't prepared well for that. Being there before 730am is a must or maybe later in the evening.

This was our second visit to Devil's Bridge, our first time visiting in the summer (Late June) We made a detour to this hike after Cathedral Rock was closed that day. We arrived at 6:15am and there were still a few extra parking spaces. We took the more direct dirt road over the Chuck wagon trail. It took us about 3/4 of an hour to get to the top, chatting and walking with others. We spent a 1/2 hour at the top enjoying the views, and taking photos for others before heading back down. There is slight scrambling on the incline, especially if you're just five feet tall like one of our teens. Lots of less mobile folks enjoying their trekking poles for the descent. If you have any knee issues, they're a big help. We went back the more direct route again up the ATV road and were back at the car just before 9am and it was 85, full sun. It was shocking to me how many people set out on this trail with only 20oz plastic bottle of water, no hats, or no water at all. It's so important to be well prepared for hikes in the summer, even though this hike isn't very long, its full sun.

This is a great hike. If you want a longer hike, park at Dry Creek, if you want a shorter hike park at the Mezcal trail head. The hike is up and down and quite rocky. The first mile is pretty easy, but the 2nd mile is more challenging. The last 10 minutes is a straight climb up rocky stairs and boulders. Once you get to the top go left to get to Devil’s Bridge. There are a few outcrops along the climb for some fantastic views. We went on a weekday and it was fairly crowded.

Fantastic trailhead and hike, starts off very easy with beautiful scenery and once the climb begins you’ll know you’re almost there as the end is a little bit of climbing. The landscape was absolutely beautiful if you take the longer trail otherwise you follow the atv road up to the closer parking lot but that not nearly as fun The view is absolutely worth the hike. Hiking in the hot summer months I suggest getting to trailhead between 5am and latest 5:30am. One to get a parking spot, two watch the sunrise and three the temperature is quite a bit cooler. Don’t be a fool and bring water. We were at devils bridge by 6:30am and there was already a short line to take pictures.
