Munds Wagon Trail is an easy, casual hike along Schnebly Hill road in Sedona, AZ.  The trail offers great views of Sedona, red rocks, and if you are lucky, small pools and water runoff that make the rocks very photogenic.

Elevation: 4500

Gain/Loss: 1100

Difficulty: 1

Rating: 2.5

Solitude: 2

Trail Description:

The Munds Wagon Trail begins at the Schnebly Hill Rd. turn off and is a popular destination for Jeep tours.  The trail follows the road and crosses it a few times but is far enough away that very little traffic is seen or heard.  The trail heads east where you will run into features such as Mitten Ridge and Cow Pies.

The trail ends near the rim and at this point you can turn around and come back.  We decided to explore the area which is easy to do because the red rocks are easy to navigate and explore without getting lost.  Take some time to sit, relax, sun bathe on the red rocks, take some pictures, and then go back the way you came.

My Thoughts:

The trail was surprisingly pleasant.  I was afraid that it would be lined with people and all I would hear is noisy Jeeps romping through the red rocks but I really didn’t.  I went in the winter time just after a light dusting of snow which made for an almost perfect day.  I do not recommend this for summer months because there just isn’t very much shade to hide from the noon day sun.
