    Directions to Trailhead

    Bell Rock is one of Sedona’s most recognizable rock formations. This hike shows it off, as well as giving you a good look at Courthouse Butte. This route follows the Llama Loop, which adds a great view of Gibraltar Rock. This hike is a bit longer than the out and back version, but it’s still considered easy and family-friendly. We love this hike at sunset.
