Munds Wagon Trail — Attraction in Sedona

There is not a lot of parking so would recommend to get here around 7AM or earlier and there is a $5 fee to park (you will park at MundsWagon Trail). You will start off at MundsWagon trail which closely follows Shnellby Hill Road so you will hear a lot of tourist jeeps. Don't worry those should be out of your way 2-3 miles). You will then come across to a split and you can do the loop (MundsWagon- Hangover - CowPie) clockwise or counterclockwise (MundsWagon - CowPie - Hangover) but we did the out and back from Munds Wagon to Hangover and back.

There'll be a bunch of lizards along the way but don't worry they tend to get out of your way. Also keep an eye out for mountain bikers as they have to navigate their bike through some very narrow trails while sharing with hikers. We saw roughly about 20 people throughout the whole trip (bikers and hikers combined) but more towards the afternoon than the morning. Would recommend 3L of water per person(trust me you'll need it in May) when doing this hike also bring some glucose because this was a very tiring trail. Would also highly highly highly highly recommend hiking shoes.

Second there is also a keyhole/overlook/Elephants Trunk/cave in this area that is a little off Hangover Trail (GPS Location: 34.872400,-111.741000). Bottom line: it is a very tough trail because the climb is at a incline and coming down is very steep as it almost looks like you could fall over the cliff. Every step is very important and for this reason I would highly highly recommend hiking shoes. It is also not a clearly marked trail and is indeed a lot of climbing. However the views are beautiful in...

Great parking spot and trail access. You'll need a Red Rock Pass, which you can get at the self serve kiosk. Daily pass is $5. Restrooms here and a map. There is an overlook of Sedona nearby. We did 3/4 of the Margs Draw trail around Snoopy's Belly. Great trail. Lots of dry creek beds, junipers, lizards, etc. If you're a little bit adventurous, there are plenty of opportunities for climbing dry river beds. At the southwest corner of the mountain you can go off trail (really just a less traveled fork) and find a small plateau. From there you can get a panoramic view of the valley and get easy access to the bottom of the rock itself. Magnificent! Obviously, watch for snakes and scorpions...but we only saw one garter snake (off trail), and it wanted nothing to do with us. The main trail eventually takes you down to Sombart Lane in Sedona, but we wanted more time on the mountain and...

Very accessible from either Uptown or Downtown Sedona. Parking lot is small, so it pays to arrive early. We found several trailheads here, not just the one for Munds Wagon Trail, and each trail is well mapped from the signs in the parking area. We found Munds Wagon Trail to be a good one because you can tailor the walk to be as long or as short as you want. The hiking trail crosses the Jeep tour road in several places, though, so in high season you'll have to deal with that. The most ambitious walk would be up the grade to the top of the ridge, which is along the old road to Flagstaff. As it was, we went out and back in about 70 minutes and felt we'd gotten a great sense of that area. Very dog friendly, but leashes are required. Pack plenty of water because there's none at the trailhead, and no...
