To make your Sedona hiking as safe and enjoyable
as possible, remember these tips:
- Water, water, water. Bring
lots of water in your backpack. Desert hiking exposes you
to heat and sun that can dehydrate you more quickly than non-desert
hiking. Remember to drink the water before you feel
dehydrated. It takes time to get rehydrated;
- Map the route. Bring a map,
keep landmarks in sight, and calculate the length of the hike so
you don't go further than you're able. The trails are not
always well marked and it's easier than you think to get off
track;
- Wear proper clothing. Wear
a pair of good hiking boots and thick socks to minimize foot
blisters. Bring a heavy shirt and a pullover. As you
climb to higher elevations the weather gets cooler and you are
more exposed to the wind. Being able to put on and take off
various layers of clothing will properly moderate your body
temperature;
- Bring a first aid kit and a fully
charged cell phone;
- Bring energy snacks;
- Bring proper equipment.
Whether that's a compass, a walking stick, and a pedometer or rock climbing gear,
make sure you have the right equipment for the occasion.
- Stop and enjoy the view!
- Remember to buy your
Red Rock Pass for parking in
National Forest land
in Red Rock Country.
