Great advice and video. I was there in early May and went to Devil’s Bridge my first full day in Sedona. I also parked at the Mescal Trail Head. Oddly only a couple of cars were there so I questioned whether I was at the right place. Well I parked and took a chance. As I walked I saw people returning so that calmed me. As I got close on the climbing section I made a wrong turn but quickly got back on track. I eventually made it to the bridge and when I got there only a few people were there with no wait to get on the bridge. After hearing all the stories of crowds I found this surprising. I got ready to go on the bridge and set my things down. When I looked up everyone had left. I was at this supposedly crowded place all by myself. It was amazing and I was in disbelief. I ended up taking a few pics and selfies then stayed for a bit to reflect. It was amazing. I then left and the saw the next visitor arriving. Oh, by the way, I went in the afternoon.
Whoa, i didn’t think your guides could get any better, but you did it.
Ha thank you! Always trying to improve...
We loved the video. Thank you. It reminded us of a weeks holiday we had backpacking using all the trains,boats and ferries in the Lake District 👍
Lovely!
Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Love the new style! Great stuff as always
Thanks for the great video, it made the difference in getting my wife to hike it today! Thanks also for the great tip to park at Mescal instead of Dry Creek - it was quite enjoyable walking through Piñon and Juniper pines, Aloe and Yucca, Manzanita and Nopali instead of the dusty and super busy Dry Creek route.
Awesome, glad you got to enjoy it. And yea, this route is much nicer than the road. I did that the first time I hiked here and it was a mistake.
Wish we would have known this last year. Truly is over crowded.
Great trail review. We haven't done this one yet. Thanks and I appreciate your hard work. Lisa
Thank you!
Thanks Cris! Really Appreciate these tips. Been wanting to hike this trail to the Devil’s Bridge. Will probably do it later this year. Can’t wait! 😀
Thank you, and yea, worth it, also lots of other great trails in the area. See if you can get Mt Humphries in, it's also pretty awesome.
Do you have any videos on how to use the reference point on the garmin fenix 7 series watches? I’ve read how to do it but can’t find any videos showing how to do it.
I don't but I'll include it in my upcoming update to navigate with Garmin watches - stay tuned
@@Hikingguy how long do you think it will be before you put out the video?
@@SouthernGuy82 Prob within a month - I'm just one guy with a "job job" too
@@Hikingguy oh I completely understand no hurry man I was just curious that’s all. Take your time. You are definitely a busy man for sure! Love all your content it has been a big inspiration to me on purchasing things I probably never would have before.
@@SouthernGuy82 Thank you so much, appreciate that
What’s a good time to go?

I’ve lived in Sedona for 20 years, volunteered on trail crew for 10 years, and worked in the visitor’s center for 6 years. I wish visitors would not just go to the trails on the internet! There are over 400 miles of wonderful trails, many of which are not crowed and provide great views. By directing people to the most popular trails it creates a less than wilderness experience. I wish you had asked people to be respectful of the trail and not to leave graffiti. There is large volunteer crew that spends countless hours cleaning graffiti off the red rocks (scraping and paint).
I was just asking myself last weekend why people go to trails which require winning a lottery when there are so many that you can walk any day
I'd encourage you to make videos or online guides sharing the other options. My mission here is to make sure that people have the confidence to know what to expect and do hikes safely. Thank you for volunteering on the trail crew, the trails were in great condition.
