Trip Highlights
This challenging Sedona hiking tour leads us up Bear Mountain, one of the area’s most rewarding summit hikes with phenomenal 360-degree views. From the start, we gain steady elevation through open terrain, offering uninterrupted vistas of Red Rock country, the Verde Valley, the distant Mazatzal Mountains, and even Humphreys Peak to the north. Along the way, we’ll also catch a glimpse of ancient native ruins, making this hike both visually and culturally rich. It’s a demanding trek—but the panoramic views from the top make every step worth it.

Is This Trip Right For me?
This hike is on a very steep, moderately rugged trail and has many large steps through out, which increase the difficulty. With elevation gain/loss of nearly 2,000 feet and light backpacks, this is overall a Level 2 difficulty hike.

7 months agoExcited to have found this hiking company!
I love hiking but I find the process of finding good trails in places I’m unfamiliar with to be difficult. Wildland took care of everything, from providing trekking poles and a backpack to snacks and lunch. All we had to do was bring water bottles and enjoy the hike and view! I’m so excited to have found this hiking company and looking forward to many more hikes!

Did a guided hike up Bear Mountain in Sedona with Cameron. It was a bit of a challenging hike and I was glad to have him as a guide. He is really experienced and friendly. Highly recommend taking a guided hike with him.

Hiked up Bear Moutain in Sedona for my 39th birthday. My guide was personable and conscientious. He challenged me on pace up vertical pushes but remained attentive to my capabilities. The experience was informative and pleasant. I will absolutely use Wildland again for future hikes.
