Sedona, Arizona Devils Bridge Hike

We have been to Sedona several times but never to hike. We were determined to experience some of the hikes I viewed on Facebook and said, “We need to go there.” Sedona was about a 15-minute drive from our campground. Our first Sedona hike was to Devil’s Bridge, one of the most popular hikes in Sedona. This 4-mile hike is relatively easy until you reach the climb to get to the bridge.

What did we find when we reached the top? A line of hikers waiting to take their picture on the bridge. We waited 45 minutes until it was our turn. During our wait, we watched people take their turn to get photographed. Some were real daredevils as they sat along the edge, and some thought doing a cartwheel was a good idea. Each time another person took their turn, we became more apprehensive and concerned about whether or not this was a good idea. Mitch has a sensitivity to heights but usually pushes through. Our turn was here, and the folks behind us were kind enough to take our photos so Mitch and I could go out together. It was scarier watching than actually going out on the bridge. There was about a 20 ft span across for us to walk on. Pictures were taken, and now we are on the climb back down. Our only disappointment was viewing the photo afterward. It was difficult to see the open gap beneath us. The photos I had seen must have been taken from a higher vantage point where the gap was seen. Below is the photo I hope we might get.
