Summary: A hike up near Jerome with wonderful distant views of the Sedona Red Rocks
Challenge Level: Easy to Moderate
Hiking Distance: About 2 1/2 miles each way; 5 miles round trip
Trailhead Directions: From
the "Y" (the intersection of State Route 89A and State Route 179), drive west on
SR 89A for 34 1/4 miles. You'll be well on your way to Jerome. Turn right at the
road with GPS coordinates 34° 42.452' N;112°
09.010 W. Proceed for 0.4 miles to the parking area. You won't need a Red Rock
Pass because this parking area is well outside the Red Rock area. Walk further
down the road for 0.6 miles to the start of the trail.
Description: You'll drive quite a distance for this hike (about 34 miles from the "Y") but the views from up high of the red rocks in Sedona are worth it. Because of the elevation (some 7200 feet), this hike is likely to be cooler in summer than the hikes around Sedona

For those of you who have a GPS unit, I have GPS data available for the hike which include "tracks," the route and waypoints.
