It’s a great view, well worth the effort. It’s not as long as the description, we clocked it at 1.3 miles round trip and just under 600 ft of elevation gain. However, the rock section is pretty aggressive, I hesitate to call it easy. I’ve done Boulder scrambles that are easier. Still a great hike!

Probably my most favorite hike in Sedona for sunsets despite the crowds. Once you reach the top you can hike to the left and follow the trail to the vortex. On the way down there is an unmarked trail that brings you to the west face. Both detours had 0 people despite the top being crowded! The sunset colors are amazing from both places and the red rocks truly glow!
