Summary: An in-town hike that takes you to the base of Coffeepot Rock
Challenge Level: Easy
Hiking Distance: About 2.4 miles round trip
Trailhead Directions: From the "Y" (the intersection of State Route 89A and State Route 179) proceed west on SR 89A for just under 2 miles and turn right on Coffeepot Drive. Drive bout 1/2 mile and turn left on Sanborn. Continue to the second street and turn right on Little Elf. Little Elf ends at Buena Vista so make a short right on Buena Vista and then a quick left into the parking area at GPS coordinates: 34 ° 52.458 minutes N, 111° 47.793 minutes W. This is the same parking area as the Teacup Trail and the Sugarloaf Trail.
Description: This easy in-town trail takes you to the base of Coffeepot Rock, a well-known Sedona landmark. You park at the trailhead parking lot for the Teacup Trail and follow the Teacup Trail until you intersect the Coffeepot Trail (GPS coordinates 34 ° 52.793 minutes N, 111 ° 47.673 minutes W). You’ll hike on ledges under coffeepot until the ledges eventually get too narrow and steep to go any further. Look up and you’ll see you are under the spout of Coffeepot.
