Overview

Casner Mountain Trail runs between the Sycamore Canyon Wilderness and the Red Rock Secret Mountain Wilderness. It is an exceptional vantage point for viewing the Red Rock Country. The Sedona region is widely known for its natural beauty, and the Casner Mountain Trail, which reaches an altitude of 6,821 feet, offers a unique perspective that few people have experienced. Although the narrow and twisting switchbacks, sheer cliff shelf road, and steep hill climbs can be challenging, it is worth taking a break to appreciate the stunning views of the Sycamore Basin to the west and Mooney Canyon to the east.

With advanced planning, you can spend a day or two exploring the most famous offroad trails in the Sedona area. The next day, you can climb the Casner Mountain Trail to reach the top of the rim and then explore the extensive network of trails in the upper Coconino National Forest.
