SEDONA: Birthing Cave to Devil's Bridge
Blending two old favorites, this route in the cluster of footpaths in Sedona, is a hiking gem. Located near several of Red Rock Country’s most popular hikes (Boynton Canyon, Bear Mountain, Fay Canyon) it offers refreshing scenery under fragrant cover of high desert scrub woodlands. The trek begins on the MESCAL DAY USE TRAILHEAD.
This twisted route on the west end of town rolls through russet cliffs above Dry Creek.
On the high points, views of Capitol Butte, Mescal, Doe and Bear Mountains, and the Grassy Knolls stand out over gullies painted in a million shades of green by cypress, juniper and yucca.
