The Brins Mesa and Soldier Pass Loop Trail offers a captivating journey through Sedona's famous red rock landscapes, blending diverse terrain with continuous panoramic views. You'll hike through forests of junipers and pinyons, cross open slickrock benches, and navigate sections of steep red rock, all while enjoying vistas of prominent features like Coffee Pot Rock and Wilson Mountain. The route also takes you past unique natural attractions such as the Seven Sacred Pools and the ever-expanding Devil's Kitchen Sinkhole, providing a dynamic and engaging experience.
This moderate 9.2-mile (14.7 km) loop involves 1318 feet (402 metres) of elevation gain and typically takes around 4 hours and 20 minutes to complete. Parking can be tricky at the Soldier Pass Trailhead due to its popularity, so consider starting at the Jordan/Jim Thompson Trailhead, which often has more availability (a Red Rock Pass is required). Arriving early in the morning is always a good strategy to beat the crowds and the heat, ensuring a more pleasant hike.
What makes this trail particularly special is its integration of several distinct paths—Brins Mesa, Soldier Pass, Jordan, and Cibola—creating a continuously changing landscape and experience. You'll witness areas recovering from a 2006 wildfire, with blackened cypress trunks amidst new growth, offering a glimpse into the desert's resilience. The trail provides 360-degree views from atop Brins Mesa, making it a standout option for experiencing the full grandeur of Sedona's red rock formations.
