Description
There are several red rock arches near Sedona including Vultee Arch, Fay Canyon Arch, and probably the most viewed, Devils Bridge, situated at the edge of a wide valley on the north side of Capital Butte. Despite its name, the formation is still an arch rather than a bridge - created by wind and weather erosion and not by flowing water - and can be reached by a minimum hike of 0.8 miles, starting from a small trailhead along Dry Creek Road. This is only accessible to 4WD vehicles however; 2WD parking is 1.1 miles away, while an alternative starting point is the Long Canyon Trailhead, from where a recently created path (the Chuckwagon Trail), links with the bridge trail.
Whichever route is used, the hike is quite easy; mostly level, with just a short, steep climb at the end. The main path ends right beneath the arch and another branch ascends to the top, where the views are better - up and down the canyon, over the red and white rocks at either side, and westwards across the wider valley of Dry Creek to the more extensive canyons and mesas of the Red Rock-Secret Mountain Wilderness
