15 Best Hiking Trails in Sedona, According to Locals

"A sub-mile but moderately challenging scramble to reach a summit marked informally by cairns and rock stacks; the best route can be tricky to find, and many hikers opt to enjoy the formation from the base rather than attempt the climb." - Evie Carrick Evie Carrick Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50.

Fantastic views if you can make it up to the first couple Outlook areas! A little difficult and slippery so be careful! There are 2 unisex restrooms available by the parking lot. Parking lot is full regularly and you may have to wait but I promise it's worth it!

Spent a couple hours exploring Bell Rock and all it has to offer. We put on a little over two miles hiking. The parking lot at the trailhead was packed, however we lucked out and someone backed out as we made the first pass! There is a fee to pay however when we went to pay, the machine said no fee required today and enjoy the park! Double bonus! The trail was well marked and we enjoyed the scenery from start to finish. There are several trails that run off to take you up and to even more spectacular views. Could have easily spent a couple more hours here and will likely come back to complete the other sections to the east. Amazing place to visit!

We decided to climb. Yes. Climb. Not hike. Climb Bell Rock... What an unforgettable experience. Heart pumping. You may experience a bit of anxiety if you're afraid of highs. It also requires some good orientation skills, and very good memory as well. So you can remember which way you went up, so you're able to descend the same way. I recommend hiking boots, and hiking trekking if you want. But once you reach the top. The reward is very gratifying. You'd feel on top of the world, and very satisfied.

Fun hike, wear good shoes or hiking boots, you'll be able to climb higher.....parking is limited

This is one of those hikes that totally lives up to the hype. The trail is super accessible, easy to get to, well marked, and you can make it as chill or as challenging as you want. The views are unreal pretty much the entire time, with those classic Sedona red rocks in every direction. You don’t have to be a hardcore hiker to enjoy it, but if you’re feeling adventurous, you can scramble up parts of Bell Rock for even better views. Just bring water, it gets hot and there’s not much shade. Parking can fill up fast, so going early is a good move.

Best hike in the area! The climb will take you a while to figure out the best path to the top but kids can make it up there, so can you! Incredible views from the top

Bell rock is Sedona’s iconic vortex and a must hike. There are multiple parking lots to hike over here. Red rock pass is generally required at the parking lot.

Pristine, peaceful and reflective place. The red rock is mesmerizing. The directions to the pathway (the path that goes around), trail path and climb (ascent) are extremely confusing. Better signage is definitely required as I see a lot of people lost. Climbing up the rock, requires skill and no fixed path. So better come prepared with proper attire, equipment and shoes. Have a companion or two as it is easy to slip off and get injured. There aren't any guide(s) or staff to guide you around. Once you climb, even partially, the views are amazing and serene.
