Route Description for Eagles Nest Trail
The Eagles Nest Trail is a pleasant easy hike in Red Rock State Park south of Sedona. This hike offers a great view of the city and is a favorite with local deer, so you might be treated to a bit of wildlife watching. While this is a good route for the whole family, dogs are not permitted.
From the visitor center (which is worth a stop before or after your hike), take Bunkhouse Trail across Oak Creek. Turn right on Kisva Trail and then head left up the hill where the loop splits. Climb up the hill, staying right where a spur trail connects.
Atop the ridge, you can walk ahead with a great view of the surrounding landscape. Stroll to where the trail begins to twist and turn its way downhill, then turn right to walk underneath the ridge. If you’re short on time, stay straight to cross the creek and head back to the visitor center. If not, complete the loop and follow the same route back to the trailhead.
