Relatively easy hike. Park in the northern access area for easier access to the trails.
Easy trail for beginners.
Wonderful leisurely walk around a marvelous site.
Bell Rock Pathway along with Courthouse Butte were the first trails we hiked in Sedona. They were great first trails-easy, and well marked. We enjoyed the views!!
Hi, I am ten years old and my dad, sister and I went on the Bell Rock Pathway. It was a lot of fun and it was also very easy.The man at Hike House was very helpful with choosing several trails in the area. Again it was very fun and interesting!!!:)
Really nice trail! My Mom, Dad, and myself -I’m 13-, went for a hike up the bell rock path and scrambled a good half up Bell Rock! It was so fun, and as we were leaving we saw a double rainbow!
I do not prefer this trail unless very early in the morning due to heavy use.
easy trail, great views,
i went for this trail at afternoon after coming down from Bear Mountain so i found the middle of Bell Rock as a great place to just sit and watching the great views.
highly recommend this trail.
This trail is very highly populated! If you want any easy hike that is pretty easy I would recommend this one! It’s perfect for all type of hikers! I started mountain biking on this trail and it led to a lot of other great trails! So if you want more of a challenge i would definitely check out biking around bell rock, just watch out for all the people!
We (3 adults and 2 10 year-olds) hiked from one access to another and back. Even with both parking areas full, we had long stretches to ourselves. Good choice for beginners who want to try something longer than the 1-2 mile trails. There is even a bench near the halfway point.
