Summary: A hike along the bank of Oak Creek
Challenge Level: Moderate
Hiking Distance: About 2 1/2 miles one way, 5 miles round trip
Trailhead Directions: From the "Y" (the intersection of State Route 89A and State Route 179), drive south on SR 179 for about 1/4 mile. Just as you cross the Oak Creek Bridge, turn left on to Schnebly Hill Road. Drive on the paved Schnebly Hill Road for 1 mile and turn left in to the parking area located at GPS coordinates: 34° 52.025' N; 111° 44.946' W. If you start driving on the unpaved Schnebly Hill Road you’ve missed the trailhead. Turn around and go back.
Description: The trailhead is shared with the Munds Wagon trail. The Huckaby trailhead is on the west side of the parking area. The trail rises and falls as you approach Oak Creek. Then you descend to the eastern bank of Oak Creek. You have views of "Lucy," "Snoopy," Cathedral Rock and Uptown Sedona. Unless the water is low and you want to cross to the other side of Oak Creek, end the hike at the Midgley Bridge, just north of Uptown Sedona.
