West Fork is the most popular trail in the Coconino National Forest/Sedona. Paul and I hiked this trail in winter last year and this year he wanted me to experience it in the summer time. It is even more spectacular in the summer time especially having shade from the canyon walls and trees, also the sound and feel of water as you boulder hop across the stream. This is an easy trail with a distance of 3.2 miles which takes 2 to 3 hours round trip. There is a fee of $9 to park in the parking area and drinking water is not provided but you can easily stop at the natural spring at the Pine Flats Campground nearby to fill up your Camelback or water bottle. This trail is generally more crowded than any others especially on summer weekends and can be closed during times of high fire danger usually in late June.
If you only do one hike in Sedona, hike West Fork!
