Sedona Hiking Adventures

The calming waters of Oak Creek cut right through the park, allowing hikers to traverse several locations where trails cross over the creek. Sedona Red Rock hiking that crosses the creek is always a memorable experience.

The unique ecosystem that exists in the riparian areas is one-of-a-kind, providing shade in the summer months via gigantic Arizona Sycamore and cottonwood trees. These same trees offer many colors in autumn as the leaves begin transitioning from summer to winter.

The park is also a habitat for many birds and other local wildlife, including mule deer, javelina, coyotes, and bobcats. You might spot these species while exploring several great trails on Sedona hiking tours.

My favorite experience while hiking here is the sweeping views of Cathedral Rock visible from most trails on Sedona Red Rock tours within the park. Cathedral Rock is the most photographed rock formation in Sedona and one of our most potent Sedona vortex sites.

What’s genuinely great about Red Rock State Park is that it offers numerous choices for Sedona hiking trails. Whether you feel like a casual hike along the creek or a more strenuous hike to one of the high points within the park, you’ll find the perfect Sedona hiking tour for you. With seven trails to choose from, you can easily find Sedona hiking tours to fit your endurance level and interests.

My personal favorite trail is the Eagle’s Nest Loop. This trail takes hikers to one of the highest points within the park and affords you sweeping views in all directions.

Sedona Red Rock tours also traverse the Kisva Trail and Smoke Trail for those hot summer days. Both of these trails meander along the floodplain of Oak Creek. The House of Apache Fire is on the property, which interconnects with the Coyote Ridge Trail and the Javelina Trail. The former president of TWA Airlines built quite an impressive home here that hikers can see on the Apache Fire Trail.

On the western park boundary is the Yavapai Ridge Trail, which also offers stunning views of the surrounding area. Really, there’s no bad trail or route within the park. Although there are only seven trails to choose from, there are far more possible routes depending on the time and distance you wish to go while on your Sedona hiking adventure with us.

Our hiking adventures average three to four hours, but can go longer or shorter depending on your hiking ability, climatic factors, and how often you stop to photograph the surrounding landscape. The price includes water and lunch. Children 15 and under are free on this hiking tour.
