Sedona is a beautiful place in Arizona. It is famous for its fall colors and red rocks. I did this hike during Thanksgiving and the weather was very pleasant. This belongs to "Red Rock Secret Mountain Wilderness".
There are 2 ways to get to the trailhead.
I followed the below link for directions-

1) We went to the end of Dry Creek Road and turned right on FR152D and ended up at the beginning of chuck wagon Trailhead (opposite to Mescal trail).
We ventured into this trail keeping right as the map showed and dint find any proper trails. It had lot of shrubs and it seemed like it is pretty easy to lose the way. Am guessing there was an important turn we missed and there was not any fellow hiker on this trail. This would eventually lead up to Devils bridge trailhead after a mile.
2) We decided to headback seeking the other more popular trailhead. On the Dry Creek Road, if we turn right onto the first FR152 marked road, it leads to the path used by the majority. If we have a 4x4 or ATV, we can go till the trailhead which cuts down a mile in our hike.
It is a rugged terrain to begin with. It is dusty due to the Jeeps and ATVs zooming past the hikers.
There is no tree cover for this one mile.
It gets better and more steeper once we hit the Devils bridge trailhead!
The views from here are just spectacular. One can see the vast expanse of the red rocks.
There are some steps to climb up and this paves way for the first look at devils bridge. People look like ants and I wondered how a mere 0.8 mile can lead up to the high point being seen!
There are 3 vista points on the way which gives nicer views of the land below.
And the final bridge and the arch is totally worth it!!
It is about 400ft high, but the bridge is not too narrow to get scared! A moderate hike of 4 miles roundtrip with great views at the end. Dont miss this one! :)
