A very great place to explore the Red Rock territory. With a short climb up the hill you'll reach a precipice at the base of bell rock that shows you a most dramatic view of the entire Valley. Epic!

What a cool place to explore! There are plenty of mesas to stop and take in the views as you climb. There's somewhat of a trail, but mostly light rock scrambling via your best route. We were there late evening, before sunset and we didn't have any trouble finding a parking spot.

I recently had the pleasure of hiking the Bell Rock Trailhead in Sedona, and it was an unforgettable experience. The trail is easy to access, and the scenery is nothing short of spectacular. Bell Rock itself is a massive, bell-shaped formation that dominates the landscape, and the trail offers several different paths depending on how adventurous you’re feeling.

What I loved most was how peaceful the hike felt. The red rock formations, open desert, and clear skies made for a serene and almost spiritual experience. If you’re looking for a manageable hike with great views, Bell Rock is perfect. It’s not too difficult, so it’s great for beginners or families, but there are also some steeper sections if you want more of a challenge.

One highlight for me was stopping at a few spots to just sit and take in the energy of the place. They say Bell Rock is one of Sedona’s vortex spots, and while I can’t confirm that, I definitely felt a sense of calm and connection with nature.

Whether you’re into hiking, photography, or just want to soak up the natural beauty of Sedona, Bell Rock Trailhead is definitely worth a visit!

I recently had the opportunity to hike the trail through the stunning mountain environment, and it was truly a breathtaking experience. The trail offered a perfect combination of challenging inclines and rewarding panoramic views. The crisp mountain air filled with the scent of pine trees made every step invigorating.

The trail was well-marked and maintained, making it easy to navigate through the diverse terrain. As I ascended, I was treated to awe-inspiring vistas of snow-capped peaks and lush valleys below. Along the way, I encountered various wildlife, adding an element of excitement to my hike.

Whether you're an experienced hiker seeking a new challenge or a nature enthusiast looking to escape the city, this trail in the mountain environment is a must-visit. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature and experience the tranquility of the mountains.

Great hike! We went as far as we could while still feeling comfortable for my level. My girlfriend was a bit more apprehensive to climb the last part, but was super stoked after she did it. It helped her accomplish a goal and expanded her confidence for climbing!

Great easy hike. I hit the trail before 7 am and I had the whole place to myself. I got off the trail around 9 am and it was busier but still comfortable. I took about 12 videos of my walk/hike around the mountain. as a note... I hiked around the courthouse not bell rock. so my error there. Enjoy!

It's a great hiking area. Parking availability can be an issue depending on the time of day. I believe the Sedona shuttle bus makes a stop here, so that's always an option.

I went with my dog after the rains that day, around 5 pm, so the temps were perfect, and parking was not an issue. But on our way out, there was more traffic coming in ... around an hour or so before sunset.

The best place for hikes in Sedona in my opinion. You can pick trails by difficulty or do all of them. It can easily take 4 hours to go around for a loop and clime the rock.
