![Instagram vs. reality: Arizona edition 💀🌵 Tips for hiking in Arizona 👇🏼
[SAVE & SHARE]
Basically all of the famous Instagram spots in Sedona, Arizona, require steep climbs and rock scrambling, but the pretty pictures make the hikes look easy. Here’s what to know.
1. Bring hiking boots with good traction.
I saw some people with tennis shoes, and they were slipping like crazy. If you have older hiking boots, test the traction before you leave to make sure you don’t need to buy a new pair.
2. Bring extra water.
We went through our 2L hydration bladders full of water by mile 3 every day. Do yourself a favor and bring more water than you think you’ll need. People die on these trails because of dehydration!
3. Come prepared to climb.
If you visit the caves, you will be climbing high, slippery ledges. Some hikes even require vertical rock climbing experience (I’m looking at you, Keyhole Cave). Always watch your footing and be EXTRA careful.
Would you brave these Sedona hikes?
