GREAT SEDONA HIKES

Devil's Bridge Hike

Summary:  A steep hike up to the largest natural stone arch in the Sedona area

Challenge Level:  Moderate

Hiking Distance:  About 1 mile each way, 2 miles round trip

Trailhead Directions:  From the "Y" (the intersection of State Route 89A and State Route 179), drive towards Cottonwood 3 miles. Turn right on to Dry Creek Road. Stay on Dry Creek for 3 miles and turn right on FR 152. Proceed for 1.3 miles to the parking area on your right. FR 152 can be a very rough dirt road so a high clearance vehicle is recommended.

Description: Devil's Bridge is a natural stone arch that is reachable with a moderate amount of climbing (up some 400 feet). It is about 1 mile to the arch and the view of the arch is well worth the climb. The trail splits about ¾ miles up. The right trail goes to the top of the arch and the left trail goes beneath the arch. You'll be hiking up some steep natural stone steps (with no hand rails) so if you have a fear of heights, you may want to be extra careful on this hike.
