Near Sedona, Arizona there is a beautiful trail called Bell trail. It got its name as it goes around the rock formation Bell Rock. The trail is a very easy to hike as it is quite flat and only mild inclines. 

The views from this trail are amazing as you can see Bell Rock, Courthouse Butte and several other amazing rock formations. This is a wonderful place to spend the day just walking around and enjoying the day. 

I was able to take some fantastic pictures of this area and I do hope everyone enjoys them.
