![]() Tip: If you look at the reviews on Alltrails, you will be able to find a recording of the path others took. Dogs Allowed?: Yes, but would not recommend on the way up to the cave.Parking: Large parking lot with facilities.Before leaving, make sure to look to the opposite side to see old ruins! There is room to sit and eat a snack inside of the cave. It was a bit scary, but nothing too dangerous. Once you find the hidden caves, you will have to climb up. After about 2.5 miles, you will have to cross the dried riverbed to find the hidden trail. The trail starts off very easy, but in order to find the hidden caves, you have to go off the main trail. ![]() Our next hike was the Boyton Canyon Trail to search for the hidden Subway Cave. After breakfast, we enjoyed the sunshine and views and a cup of coffee on the balcony at Creekside Coffee (right upstairs from the restaurant). We ate at Creekside Sedona and it was DELICIOUS. If you have a 4×4, you can get 1 mile closer to the bridge.Īfter our morning hike, we heading back towards the town to grab brunch. Parking: 1 designated parking lot + overflow parking on road.Hint: On your way down, make sure to check out the bridge from underneath (take a right at the fork for a quick detour). We looked at this as the perfect opportunity for a snack. Once at the bridge, you will likely be met with a long line waiting for pictures. We saw hot air balloons ascending over the red rocks as we were beginning the trail! There is a bit of elevation gain as you get closer to the bridge. The trail is easy to follow and pretty flat. On our way out, we saw overflow parking on the road for at least a mile! A Sedona to Tucson road trip would not be complete without this hike! We arrived shortly after 7 am, and the parking lot was already full (we grabbed the last spot). Perhaps the most popular trail in Sedona, BUT for good reason. Where we stayed: Diamond Gal Inn- Cornville, AZ-A unique western stay with 52 acres to explore! Check out more information about it here! Parking: There are 2 designated parking lots and overflow parking at Yavapai Point Parking Lot (this will add 4 miles round trip to your hike).Be sure to wear shoes with great traction! I would not recommend this trail if you are afraid of hikes or after rainfall. The trail starts off easy, but gets steep quickly. It was busy, but we were still able to find a parking spot in the main lot. We still had a bit of daylight left, so we hiked up as far as we could make it. Our intention was to hike Cathedral Rock at sunset, but we timed it a bit wrong and arrived a little late. After sipping our Prickly Pear Margaritas, we grabbed some pasta from Sedona Pizza Company. We walked around for a bit, shopped, and found the coolest bar with a view. There are free parking garages right near the shops! We were a bit unprepared for the 30-degree snowy weather, so we made our way downtown to the gift shops to find a hat. Parking: About 14 spots (more parking available at dog park 1.3 miles away).They are easy to find, but take a bit of a rock scramble to reach them. If you stay right, you will come across some amazing hidden caves. If you keep hiking, you will come across a fork in the trail. Right away, you will pass the Devil’s Kitchen and the 7 Sacred Pools. It would have been helpful to download the map from AllTrails before leaving. There were many well-groomed trails and we found ourselves lost a couple of times. The trail itself was easy, but a bit confusing. The gate opens at 8 am, so you may have luck arriving early or later in the day (after the first group finishes). The Parking lot is extremely small (about 14 cars), but according to Alltrails reviews you can sometimes park at the dog park about 1.3 miles away. We arrived after 1 pm and were lucky to find a parking spot. Soldiers Pass was the perfect way to start out the trip.
