Canyons, creeks, mountains, forests, spiritual vortexes, hikes and mountain biking trails surround the area. To hike one needs a Red Rock Pass from the Sedona Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center (''Red Rock Pass - $5dy/$10wk/$20 yr - needed to park at the trail head, hiking is free to all'').

Other notable hikes and walks include '''Bell Rock,''' '''Soldier's Pass''', and '''Devil's Bridge'''.
