Bell Rock Trail Reviews
This is the best spot to access most of the trails around Bell Rock, especially when all the other parking lots are full. While you’ll need to hike a bit more from here, the trade-off is that you’re much more likely to find parking. From this point, you can access four different hiking trails, all of which are family-friendly and great for exploring with kids. The trails vary in difficulty, but most are relatively easy to moderate, making them perfect for families with little ones. Be sure to pack water and sunscreen, as the Sedona sun can be strong, even in cooler months. This access point is also a bit quieter than the main parking areas, giving you a chance to enjoy the scenery without the crowds. If you’re looking to make a day of it, consider packing a picnic and taking in the breathtaking views along the way!
