Devil’s Bridge via Chuckwagon Trail Description

Devil’s Bridge is one of the most popular hikes in the Sedona area. At the end of this trail, a delicate sandstone bridge extends across Red Rock Country and the viewing area next to it provides a perfect spot to snap photos from. This hike captures some of the magic that Sedona’s rock formations are known for.

This hike is rated as moderate. Most of the trail is gradual, but there’s a steep incline near the end that may require a bit of hands-on help for some. Active children and beginners should still be able to make it, especially since the steep climbing section has some rocky steps to help you out.

Beginning from the trailhead, take Chuckwagon Trail as it winds its way through the desert scrub. At the first junction, keep right. You’ll cross Dry Creek Road and join the traditional trail, where it might get busier. Make the final climb up to the bridge and snap your photos! When you’re ready, retrace your steps.

Insider Hints

  • This hike gets very busy and the wait to take a photo on the bridge can be very long. We recommend coming as early as you can.
