The moderately challenging West Fork Trail in Sedona, Arizona, a two and a half hour drive north of Phoenix, is a beautiful hike for individuals and families. With plenty of shade, multiple water crossings, and a natural pool for swimming and cliff jumping, it provides a respite from Arizona’s summer heat, though some feel the best times to visit the trail are October through April.
