Sedona, AZ

[RangerZ]

I'm looking forward to a trip in March to Sedona, unfortunately with a bunch of non hikers. I've done a little research and it seems Bell Rock might be a easy day hike even for them. I'll probably bring my boots in hopes of getting out. I do't think that I'll be able to get my faithful companionStick on the airplane, he'll have to sit this hike out.

Does anybody have any other suggestions for a day hike?

There are two I recommend for non-hikers.

Palatki - 1 mile - It's an easy ranger-led hike to see ancient pictographs.
Boynton Canyon - 2 miles - Hike to the energy vortex site. A small bit of elevation. Great and beautiful views. Arrive around 3pm and you might see the local who hands out heart shape rocks and plays a flute on top of the rock formation.

west fork of oak creek canyon - most scenic and most packed with tourists, but good for beginners

No suggestions for you because I too am going to Sedona in March - my first time there! Going to southern AZ first, so likely won't reach Sedona until around the Equimox.

+1 It is now a fee area, go early, the parking lot fills fairly quick.

At the southern end of the town is a ranger station, and you should be able to pick up a map of all of the forest service roads and trail heads that are close to the town. A number of Pre historic dwellings are near by.

Up the road near flagstaff is Walnut Canyon, it is a jewel.

I've heard that Cathedral Rock is awesome. Reportedly, it's not too difficult for non-hikers.

Yep, cathedral is a pleasant walk. Maybe 3-4 miles all the way around, not much elevation change and very pretty.
