You may be wondering the best time to hike the Devil’s Bridge Trail. When I went, it was during early spring and the weather was perfect. I wouldn’t advise this hike in the summer months. October through May are most likely the best times of the year for this trail.

Devil’s Bridge Trail Arizona is located 12 miles west of Sedona. The trailhead is located off of Dry Creek Road and is open year-round. Getting there requires a high-clearance vehicle due to the rough road. An alternate route for lower vehicles can be found U.S. Forest Service website. Get more information, including turn-by-turn directions, on the official website of Coconino National Forest.
