Munds Mountain Wilderness

Munds Mountain Wilderness is a protected wilderness area in the Coconino National Forest, set high above the city of Sedona in central Arizona. Covering roughly 18,150 acres, it sits immediately southeast of Sedona between Arizona State Route 179 and Interstate 17, occupying a transitional zone between the colorful canyon country of Oak Creek and the Mogollon Rim country to the north. The wilderness is defined by its sweeping vistas of the iconic red rock formations for which Sedona is famous, including Bell Rock, Courthouse Butte, Sycamore Pass, and Woods Canyon, all visible from viewpoints along its trails. A network of paths, including the Hot Loop Trail, Jacks Canyon Trail, and the Munds Mountain Trail, weaves through pinyon-juniper woodland, oaks, and high-desert vegetation, offering both ridge-top overlooks and canyon-edge experiences. Established in 1984 and managed by the U.S. Forest Service, Munds Mountain Wilderness represents the wild backdrop to one of Arizona's most visited scenic corridors, preserving a section of the Sedona landscape where arid Southwest ecosystems meet the dramatic sandstone geology of the greater Red Rock region.
