Brins Mesa – Soldier Pass Loop is a beautiful hike that will take you to some of Sedona's well-known landmarks, like Seven Sacred Pools and Devil's Kitchen Sinkhole. You can choose if you want to take the detour to Soldier Pass cave. We started from Brins Mesa trailhead and not gonna lie, the ascent felt brutal, but the views all around were worth it.

Hike details:

Distance: 9.7 km / 6 mile loop
Total Ascent: 366 m / 1,200 feet
Difficulty: Moderate (the ascent was hard!)

You need a Red Rock Pass to do this hike - the pass costs $5 per day or $15 for one week. If you take our advise, you will already have purchased an America the Beautiful Pass, and you can use this rather than purchasing a Red Rock Pass.
