Great morning hike, lot full by 9:30am so get there early but plenty of crowds so spaces free up regularly. Started at Bell Rock trail and did the loop around Bell Rock counter clock as less crowded that direction but more uphill steps. Still and easy hike for all comers and ages.

Smokey today due to prescription burns in flagstaff. But it was nice. We’ll marked trail.

Got there at 8am on a Friday morning and it was no problem to park. Lot full by 9am tho when we got back. Perfect morning hike loved the trails and scenery in the morning light. Easy warm up for the day.

Went at 6pm… less people. Finally after 4 trips to Sedona I can say I did the bell rock loop.

Enjoyable easy hike with excellent scenery! Highly recommend.

Ah, great trail. Beautiful scenery the whole way. The path was a bit fun, done dirt, some rocks, up, down and along some boulders. It’s Sedona, so everything about the area has been said. It was a bit crowded but the paths are mostly wide. Cool, sunny morning in the Red Rocks.

Nice, easy trail with some great views. A bit of easy scrambling in places.

I got here around 5pm (Sat) and the lot was full but there were waves of people leaving so I got a spot right away. Most people went up to climb Bell Rock so my pup and I pretty much had the trail to ourselves beside a couple of passings going the other direction. Beautiful trail and easy to follow! The highway side is kind of underwhelming, so just pick if you want to do that first or last. Highway side is to the right. I’d say it’s on the easier side of moderate but know you’re own limits and stay safe! 5.4.24

Trail marked is super easy but not much to see after you pass bell rock, recommend circling around

April 28, 2024Hiking

Very easy hike. Cooler temps down In the canyon so dress that way. The trail is better done backwards as you end with the highway in view that way.

April 26, 2024Hiking

Parking was difficult so we had to take long way to bell rock but the views were well worth the up and down trek thru the wilderness. Trails are well marked and easy to follow.

Great views of Sedona and the nearby rock monuments. Watch out for mountain bikers!

Dope

April 23, 2024Hiking

Nice scenic walk with great views in all directions. Minimal altitude changes and path is easy to handle. Can turn into a more rigorous climb is inclined.

Conditions: Great!
April 22, 2024Hiking

Fun trail with great sights. I would label this one more easy moderate than just straight up moderate. Easy to get turned around as there are many connecting trails so keep your eyes on your map or the markers

April 22, 2024Hiking

Mostly flat trail. Good for getting out and stretching your legs. Would recommend you climb the bell for better views.

It’s Sedona! What’s there not to love.

April 16, 2024Hiking

nice, easy trail. parking is tough b/c Sedona is always crowded everywhere. take the single track trails when possible to avoid some of the crowds

April 15, 2024Hiking

This one is a beautiful loop hike that exceeded all of my expectations. It has several ups and downs and is surrounded by natural scenic beauty. Make sure to use your AllTrails map on this loop because there are a couple of areas where you might not be sure which direction to travel.

Conditions: Fee, Rocky
