Devil's Bridge Trail

Hiking trail Sedona, Arizona, United States

What to expect

Devil's Bridge is the largest natural sandstone arch in the Sedona area, offering breathtaking views of Red Rock country. The trail to the bridge is a moderately challenging 3.9-mile out-and-back hike with a steep climb at the end. The trail starts as a smooth, wide path, but becomes steeper and rockier as you approach the bridge. The final section involves a natural rock staircase and narrow ledges, but the reward is a thrilling experience and great photo opportunities. The bridge itself is a wide, flat area with stunning views, making it a great spot to rest and take in the scenery. The best times to visit are September through June, and it's recommended to arrive early to avoid crowds
