Sedona is the most famous travel destination in Arizona after the Grand Canyon, and has a developed a reputation among some in the outdoor recreation community for being an overcrowded tourist trap. Today we’ll talk about how this town got to be the way it is today, and whether there’s any wilderness left to be found among the red rocks.
TRAIL INFORMATION: Taking the North Wilson Mountain Trail to the town overlook is roughly an eight mile round trip hike, with around 2,500 ft. of elevation gain, give or take. Going to both the town overlook and the canyon overlook is about ten miles with a little over 2,600 ft. of elevation. This hike isn’t for beginners.
The trailhead’s a small paved lot. If you go during the offseason like we did, you might literally be the only people there. If you go during peak Sedona tourist season (late March-late May), plan to start early to beat the crowds-- but know you’ll still find far more solitude than you will at Sedona’s more “famously infamous” trails like Cathedral Rock or Devil’s Bridge.
