Bell Rock, Sedona

My favorite hike in the Sedona area. Really more of a scramble but such pretty views and fun scrambling. Need to be at the trailhead before 8 to have a shot.

Dreamy place for beginners to hike. Red rocks always look so unique. Great place to enjoy the sunset. The vegetation are so “ desert”.

First. Don’t try to park at the trailhead, park at yavapi parking lot across the street. There are only about 25 or so spots at the trailhead. This is an easy hike and you can sit for hours on this vortex filled rock. Incredible. We walked on the trail around the entire area, about 5 miles. The loop walk is a must.

One of my favorite parts on this trip was the Bell Rock climb! It’s so different then any hike you are legit climbing rocks. The key here is the crab walk staying low using your arms and feet to get down.There are levels marked off with these rock snowmen looking things. As you climb it’s like solving a puzzle your trying to find the best path for you to get higher. Lots of places to rest and take a minute to few the vortex energy. I felt happier so don’t know if that was the vortex or the fun climb. If your brave there is a plateau called meditation rock it’s high up but beautiful views. Go as high or low as you want it’s your adventure but remember you have to get back down!

Amazing! Went there yesterday, very cold windy day and enjoyed every minute. First time here and did not disappoint. Parked in the South parking lot and went on the 'Bell Rock Path' to do the climb. My suggestion is (if you plan the same and it's your first time there) to not stop at the first signage you come across. Continue past the first signage on the Bell Rock Path trail, not much further, and you'll come up to a better route of going up. Way easier and actually has trail signs the whole way to follow. Showed a picture of the sign you're looking for. As stated, came from the South parking area and my first time here... spectacular!
