Coffee Pot Rock In Sedona

Coffee Pot Trailhead: From uptown, drive southwest on Hwy 89a, turn right on Coffee Pot Dr, left on Sandborn, right on Little Elf, right on Buena Vista, the trail head parking will be on the left.If you plan to park a vehicle at the trailhead, you will need a Red Rock Pass. You can purchase a pass at the Red Rock Ranger District on Hwy 179 or in town at a number of vendors. Description: This easy in-town trail takes you to the base of Coffeepot Rock, a well-known Sedona landmark. You park at the trailhead parking lot for the Teacup Trail and follow the Teacup Trail until you intersect the unmarked Coffeepot Trail. You�ll hike on ledges under coffeepot until the ledges eventually get too narrow and steep to go any further. You’ll come to “Shark Rock,” which looks like the open mouth of a giant shark. When you go as far as you are comfortable with (because the rock gets very steep), look up and you�ll see you are under the spout of Coffeepot. NOTE: The following summary information is to help with hike selection and is not intended to be used for hiking the trail. For your safety and enjoyment, please obtain a copy of Sedona Hiking Guide which is available here.Although not typically listed as one of the “official” vortex sites around Sedona AZ, at 5,600 feet, Coffee Pot Rock is the highest point in town and some spiritual believers in vortex energy count Coffee Pot Rock as a definitive site of energy release. Typically vortexes are geological rises or depressions, signaling whether they release energy or help draw energy inward. For visitors interested in the vortex phenomenon, Coffee Pot Rock lets you be the judge.

Although located in a popular neighborhood, the trail to Coffee Pot Rock could be considered the road less traveled. Crowds are at a minimum and many hikers report having the trail all to themselves. Combine this with the low intensity elevation gain, just 400 feet over 2.5 miles, and you have one of the area’s most beautiful hikes and best kept secrets.Standing tall at the west end of Sedona sits Coffee Pot Rock, perfectly poised to pour the first cup of morning refreshment for the countless neighbors living in the shadow of this unique and colorful monument. Visible from all over town, Coffee Pot Rock mimics a percolator style pot, complete with spout. The base of Coffee Pot Rock is deep Sedona red, with slight striations of white and pink. The lid of the Coffee Pot is striped beige and orange, further resembling the clear top of the percolator. A visual wonder, Coffee Pot rock is one of Sedona’s “Red Rock” must sees!At this point the views become even more dramatic. Chimney Rock is visible on the left and Cathedral Rock is even visible in the far distance. The trail starts to climb a bit, but is quite manageable and although there are a few other unmarked trails, keep following the beaten path at this point and soon you will find yourself under the spout of Coffee Pot. There are plenty of side trails to explore, many with worn steps in the sandstone and rock cairns to assist with climbing.

Based on their geological features and views, below are the three most beautiful hikes in Sedona. Each hike is relatively short and you can knock all of them out in a day or two.

Lost in transit: For packages lost in transit, all claims must be submitted no later than 4 weeks after the estimated delivery date. Claims deemed an error on our part are covered at our expense. The claim must be submitted here.

Unclaimed: Shipments that go unclaimed are returned to our facility and you will be liable for the cost of a reshipment to yourself (if and as applicable). If this occurs, we will contact you.

Secret Cave: To get to the Secret Cave, you’ll want to get to Soldier’s Pass Trailhead. Your GPS will bring straight to the dirt parking area where the trail begins. As this is a popular trail, you’ll want to arrive early – there is no additional parking in the surrounding community and the parking area is small. The trail to the cave is about 5 miles roundtrip. You’ll pass the sinkhole and the seven sacred pools along the trail. Once you pass the sacred pools, you’ll eventually pass another sign for the Soldier’s Pass Trail. Continue past this sign for another 5 minutes and keep your eye out for a trail to your right that appears to go up the hill. Head over the tree branch, up the path, over the large rocky area, and in another 15 minutes you’ll reach the Secret Cave. If you only see an arch when you get to the top of the trail, continue to the right of the arch and you’ll see the section of the cave where you can go inside.Devil’s Bridge: Your GPS will bring you straight to the parking lot/trailhead for this super popular hike. Once you’ve parked in the paved lot, you’ll be walking along the rough 4×4 road for a while until it breaks off to the right and up to the natural bridge – do not attempt to drive on this road unless you have a high clearance 4×4 vehicle with the right tires and experience to drive it. This hike is 3.6 miles roundtrip and is relatively flat until you get to the last section just before the bridge. Due to the popularity of this trail, I’d recommend hiking this one in the early hours of the morning so you can watch the sunrise on the red rock formations in the distance when you get there.Wrong Address: If you provide an address that is considered insufficient by the courier, the shipment will be returned to our facility.

Formed between 300 and 340 million years ago, the Redwall Limestone is the lowest strata visible in the Sedona region. It is dark brown in color, up to 300 to 600 feet thick, and contains fossils of clams, snails, fish, trilobites, and brachiopods.

Approximately 4,500 feet above sea level, Sedona sits at the base of the famous Colorado plateau. This is known as the Mogollon Rim. Flagstaff, only 45 miles north, sits firmly at an impressive 7,000 feet, on the plateau. This historic town is surrounded by volcanic mountains. From the resulting cliffs, creeks like Oak Creek, Clear Creek, and Fossil Creek burst from the freed aquifers. Simultaneously, this hydrates an otherwise desert climate while creating a unique and spectacular region.Northern Arizona is a spectacular region with juniper, pinon, and huge ponderosa pine forests. It boasts gigantic canyons, desert riparian areas, and incredible rock formations. High desert regions lie beneath the Colorado Plateau, a massive, thick crust that rises roughly 3,500 feet. Consequently, without this unique formation, the beauty of Sedona would not have been uncovered. The geology of Sedona changes from one area to the next. Overall, it’s fun to have such diversity in one area for hiking, swimming, fishing, camping, mountain biking, and more!

In the Grand Canyon region, the Redwall Limestone is known to contain cave complexes. In the Sedona region, no caves are known. However, there are several locations near Sedona where sinkholes have formed in the overlying Schnebly Hill and Hermit strata. One example is the huge Devil’s Kitchen sinkhole, which collapsed in the late 1800s and is almost 200 feet deep. Mainly, all of the sinkholes occur along faults in the Schnebly Hill/Hermit formations and channel water down to the Redwall. Therefore, the sinkholes are likely due to large solution caves formed over millions of years in the Redwall. They have just grown too large to support the overlying sandstone. The impressive red rocks of Sedona are formed by a layer of sandstone called the Schnebly Hill Formation. This is a thick layer of red-to-orange-colored sandstone found only in the Sedona area. Evidently, fault lines running across the Sedona area further opened up areas of erosion. Some layers erode faster, some slower, leaving tall pillars. Each layer of stone can be studied for unique fossils, telling a history billions of years old. The sandstone of Sedona is iron rich from centuries past as an ancient sea bed. This same quality is seen up on the Colorado Plateau at Grand Canyon and in Utah. Markedly, the result is a spectacular view into the past, forming the beauty of nine National Parks like the Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, Arches, Mesa Verde, and Petrified Forest. Among the Colorado Plateau’s 18 National Monuments are Bears Ears, Rainbow Bridge, Dinosaur, Hovenweep, Wupatki, Sunset Crater Volcano, Grand Staircase-Escalante, and Natural Bridges. As well as, Canyons of the Ancients, Chaco Culture National Historical Park, and the Colorado National Monument.This is the version of our website addressed to speakers of English in the United States.

Awe-inspiring Capitol Butte towers in front as you begin your journey. The trail meanders through a residential area and moves steadily but gently uphill. After walking 0.32 mile, you’ll come to the junction of Teacup and Thunder Mountain trails. Stay straight and continue on Teacup. The trail heads northeast, and Coffee Pot Rock stands to your left. Sugarloaf Trail meets Teacup after you’ve hiked 0.38 mile but stay straight. You’re looking for a bush on your left that is encircled with rocks, 0.53 mile from the trailhead. Behind the bush, you’ll see a rock cairn and across from it, a trail marker. Once you see it (it’s actually very easy to spot), turn left on the path. You’re now on Coffee Pot Trail.

Like Teacup, Coffee Pot Trail moves uphill, but it’s an easy enough climb that you can maintain a conversation with your companions. The red rocks look enormous here. The trail is studded with prickly pear cactus and broom snakeweed. After hiking 0.85 mile, you’ll reach a slick-rock shelf that feels like an amphitheater with Capitol Butte to the left and Coffee Pot Rock to the right. From here, the trail turns east across more slick rock and leads you along the base of the nearby cliffs. It ends directly under the spout of towering Coffee Pot Rock where you’re treated to expansive views of West Sedona. Look for Airport Mesa and the top of Cathedral Rock peeking out behind it. To your left, you’ll see Mingus Mountain; Sugarloaf Summit is the red rock mound in front of you.

You may feel a range of sensations from a slight tingling on exposed skin, to a vibration emanating from the ground when you encounter a vortex. Most often a vortex is felt by palpable sensation across the nape of the neck and the shoulder blades. If you don’t feel it, one way to “vibe” with the vortex energy is to sit at a vortex location, look at the view, feel your place in the expansive beauty, be still, and most importantly – allow yourself to feel grateful.

Have you ever seen Coffee Pot Rock in person? What are your favorite roadside attractions in Arizona? Tell us your thoughts in the comments! Don’t forget to check out our previous article for more hiking trails in Sedona worth exploring. There are a number of unique roadside attractions in Arizona, from a tipi motel to the elusive and mysterious “The Thing” that you have to see to believe. Perhaps the quirkiest of them all is a rock, aptly named “Coffee Pot Rock” that’s shaped like – you guessed it – a coffee pot! The resemblance is truly uncanny. Pretty views but sketchy walking toward the end. We turned back early because my dad and fiancée felt uncomfortable. Overall great but be aware ahead of time.

Pretty easy trail with great views. Added skid mark at the base of coffee pot. Fun area to hike and not challenging if you have grippy shoes for the skid mark portion.A nice hike with great views. We couldn’t get anywhere near the end of the Alltrails track but where we turned around was pretty spectacular. I’m sure hiking shoes with a softer rubber would help ascending the slick rock surfaces. We also tacked on the summit to Sugarloaf for more great views.

Nice trail — except for the end. I’m surprised so few people have commented on it. It’s a very easy trail until you reach the last 0.2mi or so. At that point you have to go around a fairly steep, curved rock, with a long sheer drop-off. The couple ahead of us did it, though very carefully. My wife and I started but felt uncomfortably nervous. A slip would be fatal. So we reluctantly turned back. We encountered three other hikers on the way back who also had decided not to try it. As others have done, we combined this hike with a trip to the top of Sugarloaf. The parking lot was small — maybe 8 cars? — but we got there around 9:30 on a Friday and it was mostly empty.It’s a pretty hike, great views and just about every turn so make sure you turn around or you’ll miss it. A little hard to follow the trail in some spots but easy to get back onto the trail. It’s an easy hike with some moderate areas but worth it

Discover this 4.3-km loop trail near Sedona, Arizona. Generally considered an easy route. This is a very popular area for hiking, so you’ll likely encounter other people while exploring. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash.plenty of parking when arriving at noon on a saturday. if u use navigation dont follow alltrails map to the end because it gets a little sketchy and theres no a view worth it at the end. it was still a nice trail but not worth going to the endStunning views! The Skidmark trail bit was hard to find. We got on some harrowingly narrow and steep parts on the rock face, and only realized it wasn’t the trail when it became visible we’ve ran out of “trail”! Highly recommend otherwise. The Sugar Loaf summit is a worthwhile detour too! Parking is hard to find, the lot is very small. We managed to find a spot off the paved road where the resident didn’t have warning signs.We set out close to noon. It was a beautiful day in late May. Many folks headed back as we set out. The trail map is helpful as there are spots where it’s only rock so navigating the trail might take longer without the map. I have to say that we lost the trail about 1/4 mile from the turnaround beneath Coffee Pot Rock. There is a juncture on the trail map where one path takes you high, one takes you low. We could not find a way to continue and went back to that juncture several ways/times to try and find access to continue. We kept coming on either a dead end or a drop- off. I would love to hear from people who used the trail map all the way to Coffee Pot Rock.

Either we went the wrong way or the trail to tea cup was not as easy as “they” say. Lots of loose rock, steep grades, and the top of tea cup can be very breezy with precarious spots. With that said, the hike was outstanding. Great variety of terrain, amazing vistas and views, something different at every turn. Not for young ones you have to keep your eye on and shoes with good grip is a must.

Oopsie! We decided to do a different route and instead did sugarloaf summit. We stayed at the top for a looooong time just hanging out taking photos and videos! Easy hike in my opinion, saw a lot of more people on this hike as well as dogs! Very pretty views at the top!Over all was great! In front of the coffee pot it is pretty slanted slippery rock so just be cautious. We had kids with us that we would not take around the base. Otherwise the hike is nice and we also did the summit of sugarloaf at the end!

Hiking in Arizona isn’t just for the grown-ups: there are lots of easy trails that are great for the little ones, too! In this case, we’ll define kid-friendly as easy hikes under two miles long, and luckily for us (and the kids) there are many to choose from. Some of our favorites include the awe-inspiring Horseshoe Canyon Trail, which is 1.5 miles long, and features one of Arizona’s single most iconic landmarks: the breathtaking Horseshoe Canyon.

Some of the most popular and ridiculously scenic hikes in Arizona include the amazing Bright Angel Trail at Grand Canyon National Park; it’s hard, and suitable for very experienced hikers, but it’s an amazing hike with incredible rewards (and a great goal to set as a beginner). In the Valley, the hike up Camelback Mountain is famous for its beautiful desert surroundings and its killer views of not just Phoenix Metro but the entire area surrounding it. Finally, take one of the top ten best hikes in the entire United States in Sedona on the West Fork Trail, which is an awe-inspiring Arizona classic.

Located just off the highway, the trailhead is shared with other popular hikes, such as Sugarloaf Summit and Teacup Trail. To access the trail, park in the Teacup Trail lot and follow that until you intersect with the Coffee Pot Rock Trail.

The most convenient way to access the trail leading to coffee pot rock is to park at the Sugarloaf Trailhead parking lot off of Buena Vista Drive. This parking lot is small, and you’ll need a Red Rock Pass (or America The Beautiful Pass) to park here. The trailhead is highly accessible and surprisingly close to homes in a suburban area.

Coffee Pot trail is not well marked. Reports of people going off trail around this area are common! However, even if you step off trail accidentally, it’s relatively easy to find your way back onto the well-beaten path. Plus, you will likely not be alone out there.
