Route Description for Brins Mesa and Cibola Pass Loop
The Brins Mesa and Cibola Pass Loop is a great hike with lots of scenic views. It’s a bit adventurous thanks to some overgrowth, but it’s worth the bit of climbing and routefinding you might do. While this trail is heavily trafficked, it’s not usually quite as bad as other top trails in Sedona.
We recommend bringing a downloaded GPS track to help you find your way on this hike if needed. The signage isn’t great, but a quick glance at the map can keep you in the right spot. There’s a bit more climbing required towards the end but it’s nothing too strenuous.
Begin from the trailhead, taking the trail to the right of the other trails (Brins Mesa Trail) that start here. It’s a pretty level hike until you get to Brins Butte, where you’ll climb up the side of the butte and then head right to hike alongside the edge of the butte. You can finish Brins Mesa Trail to its end at the T-junction, then double back and stay right at the split to return via the Seven Sacred Pools.
Continue around Morning Glory Spire and back to the trailhead.
