Good hour and a half going up, beautiful views, make sure you bring water 😉

It was my first time on this trail last week. There are a few different trails in this area, but I randomly chose this one. It was a great choice. Very scenic, and quiet (low foot traffic during a weekday). It's an easy trail that has some moderate inclines the further you hike, but nothing that I would consider difficult. If you do the full trail loop its about 4 hours/8 miles i believe. You will see (sometimes only hear) the occasional Pink jeep tours (and other off road vehicles) driving past near part of the trail as Schnebly Hill road runs next to it (and a couple of trail sections cross over that road). But I didn't find any of that taking away from the experience. Overall it was a great mostly secluded hike. If you have a dog, I had my dog with me and she took to the trail very well.

Great loop trail by combining cowtrail and munds wagon. Some parts are a bit harder to find the trail, but alltrails/ outdoors app can help to stay on the trail.
It was very warm, so bring plenty of water and try to plan for early morning or evening.

Super fun hike. It starts low along the creek with some shade, then climbs up to Merry go round rock. The trail is next to the four wheel vehicle trail but isn't close enough to feel dusty or noisy. The views near the top are amazing

Our favorite hike in sedona. 6+ miles of Beautiful foliage, Stream crossings, & great view at the end. Well marked trail which crosses the jeep road several times. Trail leads to bottom of merry-go-round rock. If you continue on till you again cross the jeep road and then turn right onto the road, it will lead you back down to the upper side of merry-go-round. Great view from here looking down over cow pies. (This is where several jeep tours take you.) You can then take the jeep road on down until the next trail intersection & take the same trail path back to parking. Highly recommend.

We showed up two days after a massive snow Strom. The view was too amazing to worry about dirty your shoes in the red soil

So close to Sedona makes for plenty of ppl till you go past the second gate. Then not many ppl at all. From Sedona the first 6 miles are very rocky and rough. After the overlook it’s just a dirt gravel road till you hit 17. On that side there’s many campers.

The hiking is easy to moderate depending on the trail you stay on. Very rocky, so make sure you have appropriate hiking shoes. Need more that sneakers. Scenery is gorgeous. Parking lot has map and bathroom.
