Sugarloaf Trailhead — Attraction in Sedona

got lost looking for Keyhole Cave, but had a great time hiking with my son. We went about 4.5 miles and climbed up the wash towards what I thought was the cave, but it was a different and smaller cave (sort of). Make sure to bring plenty of water, good hiking shoes or boots and sunscreen as the northern Arizona sun is relentless.

We walked to the trailhead because we were staying at a nearby Airbnb. The parking lot looked full at 8:30am on a Saturday.

The views definitely are worth getting to the summit, so take short breaks and get to the top for that 360...
