Trails That Are Not Stroller-Friendly

> ⚠️ Heads up: Many of Sedona's most iconic hiking trails—like Cathedral Rock, Devil's Bridge, and Soldier Pass—are rocky, uneven, or involve stairs. These are better suited for:

Travel Tips for Strolling Around Sedona

> 💡 Pro Tips:

  • Bring a stroller with good wheels—a jogging stroller or one with shock absorption works best.
  • Pack light but smart: water, sunscreen, and baby wipes are musts.
  • Plan for shade: Sedona sun can be strong—go early or late for cooler temps.
  • Combine stroller time with free play. Let toddlers out to explore in safe open areas like grass lawns or shaded parks.
