As someone mentioned on a hiking page, Devil's Bridge is one of the most popular hikes in Sedona. If you are looking for quiet solitude, you won't find it here.
Cars park up and down each side of Dry Creek Road, up and down Long Caynon Road and fill the trail parking areas, too.
Initially, we were going to hike Doe Mountain Trail but Brad and Rachel wanted to see Devil's Bridge. We pondered, turned around and was the first car in in the Mescal Trail parking lot.
Since we were hiking at sunrise, we had the trail pretty much all to ourselves except for a couple or two coming down from Devil's Bridge. The Devil's Bridge hike provided us with a little rare gift of quiet solitude on Christmas morning.
