I brought Maddie up Fay Canyon in 2011 – one of my first Sedona hikes. On return trips I’ve ventured up to an arch in the canyon wall and climbed the imposing shoulder of red rock at trail’s end to view Bell Rock far below. This time I rock-hopped half a mile up a steep wash (until the boulders blocked me) and pushed deeper into the canyon, following a slickrock trail around the mountain. Breezy skies, bright sun, and big views!
