Beautiful views of the red rocks and a treat at the end when you find some red caves. Moderate hike, only recommendation is good hiking shoes as rocks tend to be slippery.

Devils Kitchen
Great spot for photos, and is at the beginning of one of the best trails in Sedona.
The parking lot can get full easily, since this is a very popular trail. The sinkhole is close to the trailhead, but I encourage you to continue on down the Soldier’s Pass trail.
As with all outdoor adventures, make sure to follow Leave No Trace principals.
