Fabulous in difficulty, views and a wonderful place to relax and picnic. The perfect Sedona trail for visitors and locals alike. Highly recommend it year round.
Beautiful walk through varied landscapes. You get up close to monuments you see in the distance.
This trail goes past Enchantment Resort. There was a lot of noise from the resort, leaf blowers and construction machinery. The trail was very shaded along the bottom of the canyon. There were some nice views of the canyon walls through the trees. The trail got more difficult toward the end. There were some short uphill climbs/scrambles near the end. To get the best views of the valley we had to climb around the corner, along the smooth, wide red-rock shelf. I do not like heights, but the rock was like sandpaper . . . so it was a piece of cake!! The views were worth it!!
The only good part of this hike is at the end when you begin the climb for the views. There are many better hikes for the flat first few miles. The long trek is not worth the end.
