The best way to enjoy the mighty rock, which is reminiscent of a courthouse and is located right next to Bell Rock, is to walk around it on the Courthouse Loop, an approximately 4-mile loop with few ascents.

Hiking

This bell-shaped rock got its name in the 1800's and has since been a must-see for all traveling through the Sedona area. It appears rounded from a distance, but closer views allow one to see the defined, steep walls of each of its "steps."
