Written by a Sedona local author, it is the most up-to-date Sedona hiking guide available and contains 120 of Sedona's hiking trails and loop hikes.

The Sedona hiking trail system is constantly changing. While other Sedona hiking guides books are printed in China or South Korea which can result in long delays in incorporating changes, I keep the Sedona Hiking Guide up-to-date by constantly hiking the trails and updating the guide as needed. For example, it was updated in March 2023 to add details about the new Sedona Trailhead Shuttle to popular trails and reservations now needed at the Palatki Heritage Site.

The guide is printed in the U.S. and the print-on-demand format allows me to quickly make revisions to the trail maps and descriptions so you are assured of having the most up-to-date information on the trails..
