Devil's Bridge Trail

Devil's Bridge is the most photographed arch around Sedona. The final climb to the arch is short and steep, with rock steps, and the bridge itself is wide enough to walk onto if you're comfortable with the drop.

Distance depends on where you park. Most cars start from the Dry Creek Vista or Mescal trailheads, roughly 4–6 miles round trip. Only high-clearance vehicles can drive the rough road to the trail's own trailhead, which cuts it to about 1.8 miles round trip.

Tips

• Go at sunrise. Queues for photos on the bridge can be long by mid-morning.
• The Mescal route has more shade than walking the dirt road.
• Check whether shuttle routes to Dry Creek Vista and Mescal are running. They have been paused in past summers.
