Devil's Bridge Trail, Sedona

First of all, this is a beautiful hike. It took us a bit longer than we expected though. I had read it was about 1.8 miles but didn’t realize that was 1 way so we were not as prepared as we should have been. In total we walked about 4.5 miles. Bring water and snacks with you and you will be fine. We are pretty physically fit but being from Florida, we are not used to the elevation so we did have to sit down a take a few breaks. There are some areas especially towards the top where you have to do some steep steps up rocks to get to. People carrying kids or less physical endurance were struggling but it was doable. The end of the trail when you get to Devils Bridge was a victorious feeling beautiful. There was a line to take photos of you standing on the bridge. We waited about 20 minutes and decided to head back because there was no sense of urgency in these people taking pictures which was just kind of annoying to us and we were standing on the edge of a cliff waiting. Again, had we been better prepared with more water or a snack we may have had the patience to wait around.

Wonderful short hike (~1.8 miles one way) with an iconic land bridge at the end! Overall relatively easy trail with the last quarter mile being a little steeper, requiring some very light “bouldering”. Parking is limited within the lot at the trail head but there were plenty of spots on the road right outside of the lot entrance.
