Three day trip in Sedona?

[up2top]

Any recommendations for a good three day hike in Sedona? The main problem I'm running into seems to be access to water. I really don't want to carry three days worth of water. I'm checking out Secret Canyon right now, and that looks like it has potential for at least part of the hike. I'd prefer a loop, but would be open to shuttling vehicles.

Take a look at Taylor Cabin via the Dogie trail. A group of us were just out there this past weekend. It's a sweet area and there is water by the cabin. There's a loop option if you include Casner Mountain. Follow the link below and check the alternate GPS Routes. The dirt road to the TH is in really good condition too.

That's the loop. You exit Sycamore Canyon via the Taylor Cabin trail. We did it in the fall--fun hike, fantastic views from the ridge north of Casner Mountain.

We did the loop as a backpacking trip in basically an afternoon and a morning. If you want to stretch it into three days, you could go further north on the Winter Cabin trail.

We day hiked it.
I agree about that ridge. Sweet views to both sides.
