Things To Do
Hiking
Sedona is home to some of the most breathtaking hikes in Arizona, with towering red rock formations and unforgettable views around every corner. A few of our absolute favorites — and true must-do trails — include Bell Rock, Cathedral Rock, Devil’s Bridge, Boynton Canyon Trail, and Soldier Pass (where you’ll find the stunning Seven Sacred Pools). Keep in mind that parking at many trailheads is no longer permitted, but Sedona offers a convenient free shuttle service to make access easy. If you prefer a little extra walking, you can also park farther away and hike in from there. Link to Shuttle: https://sedonashuttle.com/trailhead-shuttles/
