Description

Added by Lucas Bremer

Go back in time with scenic river valley views at Tuzigoot National Monument.

Spend a couple of hours to discover the incredible legacy of an ancient people at Tuzigoot National Monument.

Start at the Visitor Center, then take a self-guided, half mile loop trail that will lead around and through an incredible 110 room pueblo. The large building was home to the Sinagua people between the years of1125 and 1400. The trail also offers outstanding views of the Verde River below. The trail is paved and accessible for those that are disabled.

Stay on the trail to protect the ruins, and because this is prime rattlesnake habitat. Fun fact, Arizona is home to 13 subspecies of rattlesnake.

The hike begins on the eastern side of the parking area. It is only a half mile hike but the views are amazing. Hike through the beautiful Sedona landscape of red rock and juniper before finding your way to this breathtaking cliff side view! Feel free to explore more of the mountain and find other ruins and viewpoints or just relax in a secluded cave with amazing views of Sedona's red rock.

Hiking Kisva Trail in Red Rocks State Park

This easy hike features a lovely creek and the beautiful red rocks of Sedona! This is a flat, shady, 1.3 mi hike and follows Oak Creek for a portion. Beautiful spots to stop and have a picnic or just relax and watch the birds. Lots of signage, and great to do with kids of all ages. If you’re looking for an easy way to experience Sedona’s beauty, this is a great place to start!

Hike the Cockscomb Trail

This is a wonderful less traveled trail that is fairly easy hiking, at least until you reach the base of the Cockscomb. It does not have much shade. I recommend hiking this trail late afternoon into sunset as the trail weaves between Doe Mountain and the Cockscomb on the west side. The setting sun lights up the sandstone walls on these two mountains for some amazing colors. Signs and guide book...

Hike to Bear Mountain

Bear Mountain is one of the more difficult hikes in Sedona but has very easy access. There is a parking area between Doe Mountain and Bear Mountain. The trailhead is across the street and the initial approach is very flat. The red rock bluff you first see on the approach is only part of Bear Mountain and not the top. In guide books it has the trail going about 3 miles to the summit and ...

Doe Mountain Trail

Hike Doe Mountain

The trail begins almost immediately with some gradual switchbacks that climb up the mesa at a moderate incline. As you climb you will come to a trail junction with the Aerie trail about .3 in. At this junction just make sure to stay on the trail marked towards Doe Mountain and not on the Aerie trail. The trail continues to climb up gradual switchbacks basically all the way to the top. The very ...
