Some moderate stair climbing required to reach a magnificent natural bridge. Ther are several photo opportunities on the way to and at the bridge. After taking your photos from the top of the bridge send one able-bodied photographer to the area below the bridge to snap pix of those remaining up top. Unless you have a high clearance on your...

if you are not an avid hiker and have proper gear or time, this hike is not for you. i guess i wish i knew more about this hike being a little longer and tougher than was explained to me. An hour long hike up these rocks and not knowing exactly where to go was very frustrating. I made it... More

This was our favourite hike of all the hikes we did in Sedona-not so much the journey but the destination. This natural bridge is amazing! Leave early as it is a bit of a hike to get there and back and it can get very hot. Take water and a snack and if you aren't very fit take your time.... More

The trail head isn't near a road most cars can drive on. If you have a 4-wheel vehicle you can drive right to the trail head. We walked the 1.5 miles in to the trail head and then up the trail. Most of the trail is quite easy, the only tough part is the last few hundred yards. It's staircase,... More

We were tipped off about Devil's bridge by our waiter as a nice hike to do. We drove our rental SUV to the trailhead slowly, and pulled over a few times to allow higher clearance vehicles to blast on through. The access road would chew up a passenger car, but with some careful driving, you can make it to the... More

More of a strenuous hike. We did not drive a 4x4/SUV so we parked our car at the entrance & walked 1.5 miles to get to the entrance of the actual trail. Wear lots of sunscreen & bring water as you will be in the wide open sun before the entrance of the trail. Wear hiking shoes too...the rocky dirt... More

This hike tops all other hikes once you reach the bridge. It is simply stunning. I would not recommend you drive your car down the dirt road. Alot of big dips & rocks that will scrape the bottom & maybe take out an oil pan or something. We parked & hiked in. Was about a mile, not a tough hike.... More

Nice hike and scenery. If you can't drive in to the TH, use the Chuckwagon Trail to get to the TH...its a pleasant hike and you'll avoid the dust from the jeeps and cars going down FR 152. If you don't have a 4x4 (with high clearance) don't even think about driving to the TH More

Last part was very steep, but well worth it! Walked out onto the arch a little way, and it was gorgeous! Best trail in Sedona. More

A moderate hike, except the last 100 yards or so are steep. It is a cool feature, have water and try to go when it is not too hot. About 1-hour walk from the trail head after the 1.3 mile drive down the dirt (don't try it in a passenger car) road. More
