The itinerary begins in Sedona with three days of hikes and viewpoints in the red rocks. Day 1 covers Bell Rock and Courthouse Butte, Day 2 includes Cathedral Rock and Tlaquepaque, and Day 3 reaches Devil's Bridge and Slide Rock. The trip then moves to the Grand Canyon South Rim for rim trails on Day 4 and a descent into the canyon on Day 5.
Five days covers the main Sedona hikes plus one full day at the South Rim. Schedule the drive between locations on separate days to keep daily time under two hours each way.
No hiking permits are needed, but most Red Rock trailheads, including Bell Rock, Cathedral Rock and Devil's Bridge, need a Red Rock Pass or America the Beautiful pass to park. Buy one at the trailhead kiosk or visitor centre, or use the free Sedona Shuttle to the busiest trailheads.
Drive north on 89A then east on Highway 64; the trip takes two hours. Fill the gas tank in Sedona as stations are sparse along the route.
The fee is 35 dollars per private vehicle, valid for seven days. Buy the pass online before arrival to use the express lane at the gate.
