Hike Devil’s Bridge Sedona

Ranked as one of the best hikes in the USA, Devil’s Bridge in Sedona is a must-do. The trail can be crowded, but I’ll also show you a more pleasant route that’s easier to park at. Devil’s Bridge, the largest natural sandstone arch in the Sedona area, is doable by most folks, with only some steep stairs at the end. Here’s how to do it.

In this Guide:

  • No Hassle Parking Location
  • Easy Hike Directions
  • Insider Tips

Where is Devil’s Bridge?

Hike Devils Bridge Sedona Location 2
The hike starts about 15 minutes outside of downtown Sedona.

There are two main trailheads for Devil’s Bridge: Dry Creek and Mescal. The hikes are about the same distance, but Mescal has advantages over Dry Creek. The Mescal Trailhead parking lot has about double the spaces of Dry Creek. Perhaps more importantly, for a pleasant hike, Dry Creek follows a dirt road halfway to Devil’s Bridge, open to vehicles. On the other hand, the first half of the Mescal route is on a regular trail with no vehicles and offers some incredible views along the way.

Use this trailhead address:
Mescal Trailhead Car Park, Long Canyon Rd., Sedona, AZ 86336

Hike Devils Bridge Sedona Parking Map
There’s a decent amount of parking spots, and the lot has bathrooms. The hike starts at the red dot across the road.
Hike Devils Bridge Sedona Shuttle
There’s also a shuttle bus service to the trailhead from downtown Sedona. Check the website for the schedule.

Gear Recommendations

  • While many hikers complete this trail in regular street clothes, I strongly recommend wearing fitness attire or light hiking gear for optimal comfort and safety.
  • The most crucial item is a pair of comfortable shoes, such as trail runners, essential for happy feet.
  • The high desert of Sedona has extreme temperatures. It can be over 100F in the summer, and in the winter, it can be below freezing. Bring at least 0.5L of water with you and sun protection.

Cris Hazzard 4 Mile Trail YosemiteHi, I’m , aka Hiking Guy, a professional outdoors guide, hiking expert, and author based in Southern California. I created this website to share all the great hikes I do with everyone else out there. This site is different because it gives detailed directions that even the beginning hiker can follow. I also share what hiking gear works and doesn’t so you don’t waste money. I don’t do sponsored or promoted content; I share only the gear recommendations, hikes, and tips that I would with my family and friends. If you like the website and YouTube channel, please support these free guides (I couldn’t do it without folks like you!).

    if you do not do something such as going on the street and telling your government which is controlled by the Jews to stop killing the Gaza people and stop the Israeli War and send food to the starving people of Gaza. If you can not do it then forward this message with the above two links to at least 4 of your friends and ask them to forward it to 4 of their friends so that the world will know that the new mass murderers are the Jews of the world . It is ironic that the Holocaust servicers (the Jews) are creating a new Holocaust against the Philistines in Gaza.
