The 2 images below were supplied by one of the Rangers at the Ranger Station when one of our artists inquired about painting at The Old Bridge, this was the alternative recommended by the Ranger as The Old Bridge has extremely limited parking now.
To drive in on the other side of the bridge by going behind our "Welcome to the Coconino NF" sign that's along hwy 179 (marked in green on the map). The fork to the right takes you to an overlook above the creek and the fork to the left takes you closer to the creek.”
Here is the Sign:
Directions:
Coming from the Village:
It is on 179 coming from the Village
Go past Beaverhead Flat Road
Take a Left into the area by The Welcome to Red Rock Scenic Byway Sign
Coming from Beaverhead Flat Road:
Take a Right onto 179
Take a Left into the area by The Welcome to Red Rock Scenic Byway Sign
That is the sign you see when you are traveling on 179 after exiting 17 at the Sedona Exit.
Note: park in the area around the sign as opposed to driving down the trail.
