Devil's Bridge is a 4-mile round trip hike in Sedona to a dramatic sandstone arch with red rock views. Most people start at the main trailhead, but taking the Mescal Trail cuts crowds and adds scenic variety. The trail is moderate with some steep sections near the arch. Parking at the official lot requires a Red Rock Pass, but starting from Mescal avoids the fee and the initial traffic. The bridge itself is wide enough to walk across for photos, though exposed edges mean you need to watch your footing. Best hiked early morning or late afternoon to dodge midday heat and tour groups.
