Hiker Tips
- •Bell Rock is one of Sedona's 'Vortex' sites — popular for meditation at sunrise
- •The trail goes partway up the rock; scrambling to the top is possible but unmarked
- •Very family-friendly lower section; upper scramble is for more adventurous hikers
- •Connecting to Courthouse Butte Loop adds 3+ miles of incredible scenery
