Really hard hike, but maybe better referred to as a climb. There are amazing views throughout this hike. The final summit is okay, but the best views are found during the climb. Full review by curtis1532

Q:
Is this trail easily passable in winter? I was reading about some of the other Sedona hikes and it seemed that in January some were icy/snowy and hard to get through.
A:
We hiked it Dec 29, 2017 and we were in our short sleeves! There was no ice or snow at all. You just need to watch the weather. The top of the mountain is only at 6000 feet.
