I'll be in Sedona in the morning. Any recommended easy hikes with a view?

Bell Rock and Courthouse loop is beautiful and this picture was taken on this particular trail.

Sedona Airport loop trail is beautiful and the hike is short with views at every step.

Cathedral rock is another classic.

If you have time, I'd highly recommend the Subway Cave hike.

I hope you enjoy your time in Sedona! :)

Cathedral Rock is a favorite of mine too, but I was there last week and couldn't make it to the halfway point because this cold snap covered the rock with real slippery ice.

Ah, bummer!!

I didn't get a chance to hike the Cathedral Rock but Sedona is one of the places I know I'll be returning to visit. Planning to go back in October and do other hikes I missed out this time 🤞

Thanks for the recs! We ended up doing the Bell Rock/Courthouse loop and it was an incredible hike. Definitely looking to come back for the others.

Devil's Bridge is a good one just overpopulated these days, so, I'd suggest starting early. October would be a perfect time to hike Wet Beaver Creek (yeah, that's the name they went with lol) and Thunder Mountain is an otherworldly experience, especially if you can witness a haboob roll in!
