Midgley Bridge Picnic Area

The place is nice to get beautiful scenery and have a little walk. I didn't go to the trail but at the beginning it looked well-marked and nice to go on a walk to.

There is a picnic table under a canopy with the view of the bridge, you can't see it that well from the parking lot, which is very small, it's just past the vault toilets. There is a trail that leads down some steps and past the picnic area, we didn't use the trails, we just stopped to have lunch, it was a perfect place to do so.

A hidden gem in Sedona with many hiking trails of varying difficulty levels. I took one trail down to the river, which was beautiful; it took me 15 minutes to go down and 25 minutes to come back up. The river was lovely, and the water was refreshing. I visited around 4 p.m., and it wasn’t crowded—the weather was perfect. The whole area is stunning and great for photos. Another trail I tried was along the edge, which was nice but a bit challenging if you have pets or children. Overall, I highly recommend this place if you’re in Sedona.

We visited here just for the bridge. We like to pay tribute to the bridge builders 75 years ago. Without them, we won't have today's Sedona. Besides, the bridge looks beautiful.

We actually drove by here as it is around a blind bend from one side. After a u-turn, we made our way back.The other issue is parking as it is limited. You will also need a parking pass to stay. We didn't go too far up the path as we didn't have a pass at that time. I did quickly take a walk under the bridge. The path is a bit hairy there, but can be managed if you watch your step.You really get a nice view of the water below from that path. On the higher paths, there are some wonderful views. Even on the otber side of the road, you can see the snowy rock formations. We will be back another time as I really want to walk under the bridge.

Stopped here on the way through and eventually was able to park. Amazing bridge and picnic area.

Get their before sunset! Stunning 🥰

Parking is extremely limited, and a parking pass is required. Great views of the bridge and mountains with trail options. We didn't venture far from the lot, but I did not see picnic tables or bathrooms, not much beyond the great views. It is easy to miss the entrance, and a turnaround isn't easy on the winding road.
