The trail to Devil's Bridge, one of Sedona's largest natural arches, is a relatively easy way to catch a glimpse of Sedona back country. You'll meander past pretty washes where juniper, agave, and prickly pear cactuses grow amidst the red rocks. A gentle uphill climb brings you to the vantage point where you will see the large arch immediately to your left. If you venture out onto the arch, tread carefully! come in the summer, bring water.
This is a great spot for pictures and a nice place to have a picnic lunch. However, there isn't much shade, so if you come in the summer, bring water.
| Directions: |
From Phoenix, take I-17 north to Hwy 179 (exit 298). Turn left onto 179 and follow it past the Village of Oak Creek to the Sedona (Burger King) "Y". Turn left at the "Y" onto West 89A. Take this past most of the town until you see Dry Creek Road. This is just a little way past the Giant Gas Station to the right.
Take Dry Creek Road until you see FR 152 (a well-marked dirt road) on the right. Take FR 152 for about 1.3 miles where you will see a parking lot pulloff on the right side. There you will find the trailhead marked "Devil's Bridge #120." |
