Take a break from your scenic drive for a hike around the base of Midgley Bridge, your gateway to the town of Sedona.
Just more than one mile north of the Sedona central business district on Highway 89A, you'll come to Midgley Bridge. On the north side, there is a parking lot that often is filled to capacity -- or with creative parking, perhaps beyond capacity at times. But it's well worth the effort to find a parking spot here and explore the views of the structure and Wilson Creek below. If you're a hiker, note that no less than four trail heads converge in this parking area.
They range from fairly easy to strenuous, but they also provide places to enjoy the beauty of this area without slipping down a hillside. All the same, keep small children closely at hand in this locale. If you choose to make the round trip on 89A to Oak Creek Vista and back (16 miles north of Sedona and back) and the parking lot is full on your outward journey, sometimes it's better to save this stopover for your return trip.
