Guided hikes

Sedona · Usually 2–4 hours · Pick your level · $$

A local guide chooses a trail for your fitness and handles the navigation and parking.

A guide is worth it if you're new to desert hiking or short on time. They know which trailheads fill up, and many tours include transport, which avoids the parking problem altogether.

Tips

  • Tell the guide about any fear of heights. Some routes have exposed slickrock.
