Devil's Bridge...

Well! Unfortunately, Simon was not able to go with me on this hike. Although, some people bring their dogs, but I don't know how in the world they do it! I mean, it's seriously a vertical hike. I guess since I have a 112lb dog and the people I saw had 50 or 75lb dogs; it's possible they are able to bring their dogs.  I absolutely love this trail. It's easy and difficult depending on where you veer off to. My friend and I went the difficult way going up and went the easy way going down. It was much more adventurous, that's for dang sure!

It's a pretty easy place to access. You just take the Sedona exit, drive into the gorgeous town, there's a round about so you need to take it heading towards the Hyatt Dr. Follow the road all the way down to Dry Creek Rd and follow the signs. :) There are a couple of trails here. The parking is $5. CHEAP. There's Vultee Arch, Devil's Bridge, Soldiers Pass and another I cannot remember. I literally was stepping on the bridge that was being help by 2 sheets of rock. Not safe, but definitely a rush of a lifetime. :)

 Don't let the name intimidate you at all. It's a really easy hike, but the last 100 meters is a bit rough. My friend Chris and I took the "wrong" way so I took about 45 minutes more than what it should have. We hiked a total of 4 miles round trip. Pretty decent hike. I wouldn't recommend taking kids or dogs on this hike. Although people do it, I wouldn't take the chance. We saw a sign for a missing person. Very, very sad. I was so disheartened. A man by the name of Jim Schwartz went missing 11 days ago. ( 19 October 2011). He was last seen hiking around the area of what they call, Village Creek. Which could be ANYWHERE. I hope and pray  they find him. My thoughts and prayers go to his family. I wouldn't know what to do with myself if my grandfather or dad went missing for 11 days. Who knows the condition of what he's in. Not to sound negative, but not many people can survive out in the desert. It's hot during the day and cold at night, especially during this time.

Perfect day for a perfect hike...
