March 2, 2021You definitely want to go counterclockwise on this 8 mile hike if you are on foot. But the biking apps have people going clockwise and you will see why. Definitely go counterclockwise if you are on foot much more enjoyable. an alternative is to go clockwise and just go 2 or 3 miles in and then back out that is the prettiest side.

February 28, 2021Very well marked and well maintained with great views the whole time. Excellent trail if you’re in Sedona. Pretty easy just a few steep sections I would say anyone could do this (saw older folks as well as young kids).
February 28, 2021February 27, 2021Wow! Great trail that takes you on all sorts of terrain - cliffs, rocky areas, sandy, woods, a stream, etc. you get to see everything! Lots of great views and not too challenging despite the length. I recommend going counterclockwise so you do the steepest part first.

February 23, 2021This trail had beautiful views the entire time! Highly recommend to those staying in the Sedona area. It is very close to the main town. Be careful if bikers though because everybody shares the same trail.
February 22, 2021Did it counter clockwise. The first half was pretty but flat and dull. The second half had some gentle scrambles and gained enough altitude to have great views.

February 21, 2021Great trail! Thoroughly enjoyed the views, not too challenging. Definitely do it counterclockwise!
February 21, 2021February 20, 2021A stunning hike, get to the trail head early or parking will be an issue. The longer loop is nice, because you don’t have all of the crowd that is primarily going to Cathedral rock. Recommend counter clockwise - save the best for last! Lots of bikers
February 18, 2021February 18, 2021Excellent views, moderate to hard at times. Very enjoyable and completely scenic! Loved it!
February 18, 2021Beautiful hike! Was nervous to go up on Cathedral Rock with my dog, so opted to go around. Turned out to be the best decision. Ran into a couple a groups of bikers and a few hikers on a Wednesday afternoon. Give yourself extra time for a lot of photos!
February 17, 2021My favorite trail in Sedona! Most incredible, jaw dropping views. You can honestly say that you have seen all of Sedona after this hike. Highly recommended!
February 14, 2021Amazing trail! Some minor scrambling, lot of mountain bikers.

February 3, 2021February 2, 2021Perfect hike with views and easy path. Nice areas to sit, picnic and rest. Added the climb up to cathedral which was well worth the effort! Would do this loop again.
February 1, 2021This hike was 8.1 miles. Excellent views, beautiful hike through different terrain. We went clockwise and the downhill portion on Hiline near the Baldwin connection is steep. Going CW at the 2 mile mark is an excellent viewpoint. The section next to Oak Creek is also very scenic. There is a bathroom at the trailhead.
