01Connect to Local Culture by Hiking the Birthing Cave Trail

The trail to the Birthing Cave is short, but the real hike and amazing views require a bit of bravery. You'll need to scale the rock into the cave, then take a trail that gets harder as you go along. At the end of the trail, you're rewarded with some of the most beautiful views Sedona offers.
