Overview

Devil's Bridge is without a doubt Sedona's most popular trail. There are two parking lots, the first marked by the coordinates above, but if you have a 4x4 vehicle then you can cut the hike almost in half by driving down the Vultee Arch road for 1.3 miles and parking on the right at the Devil's Bridge Trail sign. The road is pretty rocky in certain points so unless you have some solid clearance on you vehicle, you aren't really saving much time, so you might as well just park in the regular lot.

The trail is super easy and mostly flat until you get to the last quarter mile. You'll know you are close when you reach a rocky staircase. After a short climb, you will easily spot the bridge. If you woke up early enough, you may be lucky enough to get the bridge to yourself for a couple minutes. If you go at mid-day...good luck.

You can also get down underneath the bridge through a subtle cutoff from the original trail. If you are headed up, it will be on the left hand side right before a steeper switchback.
