Fay Canyon Trail End — Attraction in Four Corners States

This is one of my favorite easy trails to hike in the west Sedona area. The pathway is well-marked and features gorgeous views of the red rock canyons as one goes further in.

It's not particularly difficult, but does require more effort than just walking a trail, and is totally worth it.

From the trail head to the view from the rocks took us about...

This trail provides a lovely hike through the heart of the red rock in Sedona with little to no incline on a well manicured trail. The views are beautiful along the shaded trail that is 2.4 miles. It is a great outing for families with young children or older couples. Their is a steep climb available at the trails end, but we decided against taking our children up it. We were warned that there is a drop off at the top, so I recommend not...
