I just want to add here that this description of the hike may be a little wary of how difficult the hike actually is. Most people I talked to on the trail, it took 2.5 to 3.5 hours one way. Overall, it took my husband and I 6 hours up and down. We were chasing the sun a bit near the end. The trails are a bit confusing on the map, but just keep following the signs for the mt Wilson summit. Once you summit, there is an option to go to the Sedona overlook or the other overlook that faces flagstaff. I recommend going to the Sedona overlook. It's more worth the view and a mile shorter as well.
