Its a lot of steps with little to hold on to so be careful if you dont have great balance. But its a beautiful stop we make every time were in town!

Its funny how the forest service people dont want any citizens parking anytime by the hillside to enjoy a pretty site. Although, they can park wherever they want and the rules dont apply to them. They can block others that are parked in a parking space. They dont provide much parking and have shut down other parking options in the area. The forest service people around here arent very kind or nice to others either... They will get you with an orange tag if you try to have any enjoyment and pursuit of happiness in life.

There are steep Stone staircase that goes down to an overlook of the stream. The Fall colors were superb. Its not even or steady for those with walking issues. Theres still much to see. The other end of the ravine has a partial sinkhole type structure.

More of a difficult hike. Down hill. Beautiful views. Hike down to river and cool off. Pack water & a snack! Or stay to pic nic.Save energy to walk up at end of your trip.

A little steep on the way down. Just take your time. A nice welcoming creek at the bottom. Nice for wading on a hot day.

This is a great place to go and it has a trailhead called Hickaby Trail that runs all the way into Sedona. If you hiked down about 1mile, youll run into Oak Creek. Its very nice. Theres only about 10 parking spots though, and you still need to pay the $5 red Rock pass fee at the machine in the parking lot. Pack a lot of water pack your hiking shoes pack your swim trunks. Have fun!

CRAZY good hikes... Mt Wilson was incredible and has multiple levels of eco-diversity... 12 miles round trip but views are everywhere.

While driving South on Route 89A to Sedona, we were treated to this little gem of Midgley Bridge Picnic Area and did some exploring. Trails are well marked so it was fun to wander and see the sights of the creek and mountains. At the picnic area the trail goes under the bridge and the views are pretty good and photogenic. So while the lure to take this road is Sedona make sure you take time and visit this little gem, we did and believe you will too. Enjoy.

This was an awesome stop. The bridge goes high over the valley at a point where the river and stream converge. Beautiful colors all around. The sunset probably isnt the best sunset you could see but it certainly was beautiful nonetheless. Great views. Was there during the fall and all the trees were turning yellow.

Great place for a short hike, water was nice and cool. Unusually busy compared to every other time weve come but was still able to find a nice secluded spot. The water level can affect how far you can follow the creek. Be careful of snakes, all the times Ive gone Ive never seen a rattlesnake before today.

Great spot to set up for a day by the creek! It’s about a mile hike down to the water but remember you have to hike back UP again after baking in the sun all day & the last half of the path is not shaded. Altogether coming back up it’s 11 flights of stairs. The path is easy enough to follow but there are a few places where you will have to duck under branches and squat down through tight places. We floated down the river as did quite a few other families to a couple swimming holes where you can chill out. The water is cold so you WILL chill out!

Passed by this a dozen times and finally stopped on our last day. was not dissapointed but wish i could have hiked more. the trail will lead you down the canyon to the creek below where you can view wildlife that exists no where else in the world. watch out for rattlesnakes and tourists.

Very good view of Sedona. I highly suggest not coming here during weekends especially during noon, and early evening. Extremely populated, and the traffic will be horrible back in tourist town. Fridays, and late Sunday isnt too bad. 3 day weekend, AVOID....

Pretty cool place with great views. A must see on a Sedona trip. Trail are relatively easy, the train down to the water was a bit intensive for a beginner. Taking it slow it can be accomplished.

Small parking lot. Good pics not far from lot of bridge and canyon. Hike down to creek took 10 minutes. It could be challenging in the heat coming back up, especially if not in decent shape or in your 20s. To hike more at the bottom we took our shoes off to cross two creeks. Coming back we grabbed a stick to walk on the tick bridges. Good swimming holes available too.

I would give this a 5 star but the logistics of parking to hike here are a nightmare at best... Also be careful for glass by the stream. The area is beautiful and has many elements of beauty, water, trees, wildflowers, and tadpoles.

I do not have any photos because I was driving at night, leaving banjo picnic area. BUT because i was here at night with my brother and the veiw of the stars was amazing. It was like someone tossed silver glitter into the sky. During the day its packed though so its hard to see the nice veiws on the canyon below. But love the starry sky
