Hiking Devils Bridge Turtle3863 2023-03-17 | Devil's Bridge just North of Sedona, Arizona is one of the top hikes that most people do when in that area. There are several trailheads leading you to the arch. On this hike I take the shortest hike which is about 4 miles round trip. It goes along a 4 x 4 trail for the first mile then takes a hard right and up hill for another mile. Light scrambling is required at the end to get to the top of the ridge. Well worth while hike. Best times to hike for less crowds are early morning and Winter months.Geocaches found on this hike:GC5HX8KGC2PED2
