Brins Mesa Trailhead

Although this is a short distance from Uptown Sedona, you will be far enough away from the ambient light to have fantastic views of the night sky. When there’s a full moon, you may even be able to see the outline of the surrounding red rocks!

Viewing Tip: Take in the night sky right from the parking lot.

Driving Directions: From the Visitor Center, 331 Forest Road, turn left on 89A. At the circle, take the 2nd exit 0.7 miles; turn left on Park Ridge Drive, 0.4 miles to the trailhead. Use caution on the forest road section after sunset.

Amenities: Pet friendly (leash required), restrooms, picnic table. Red Rock Pass required at this parking lot. This trail is within Congressionally Designated Wilderness — no bikes or mechanized equipment allowed.
