Desert Hiking in the Red Rocks
One of the most popular hikes in Sedona is Courthouse Butte Loop which goes all the way around Bell both Courthouse and Bell Rocks. It is especially popular with guests of Canyon Villa Inn since the trailhead is just across the road from us. Guests can walk to the trailhead within minutes right from our door. Likewise, guests can access unmarked “social” trails right from our property that wander into the desert within view of our property.
Forest Hiking in Oak Creek Canyon
The West Fork Hike is a 6 mile trail along and across a flowing creek surrounded by rock slopes that tower alongside, forming picturesque images as they are reflected in the water. This hike is especially worth doing in the fall, when the trees take on particularly vibrant colors. And in the summer, the cool rushing water of Oak Creek as is rushes down from Flagstaff is a welcome relief. Since this hike involves crossing the creek at several points, wearing clothing that can get wet is recommended.
