Devil’s Bridge Trail 📍 Navigation: 🅿️ Dry Creek Vista Trailhead (adds 2 flat miles—skip if possible) 🅿️ Mescal Trailhead (saves 2 miles—recommended! The fun part begins at the climb to the bridge.) 📸 Great photo spots throughout! Be prepared to wait in line for bridge photos. ⏱️ Took me ~4 hours (starting from Dry Creek due to a marathon). Manageable even for beginners! 🕳️ 6. Subway Cave Trail Didn’t make it this time—next trip! 😅 #Sedona #ArizonaTravel #RoadTrip #Hiking #USATravel 🚙📸
