West Ridge of Lee Mountain, Gun site on end with moon rise, Munds Mountain Wilderness Area. Verde Valley, Sedona, Arizona. USA Coconino County & National Forest. You can get to know Red Rock Country from top to bottom in the Munds Mountain Wilderness. This 18,150 acre area stretches from the tops of Munds and Lee mountains to the bottoms of Jacks, Woods and Rattlesnake canyons. In the high country, you'll enjoy views that stretch all the way from the floor of colorful Oak Creek Canyon to the top of the San Francisco Peaks, Arizona's highest mountain. From trails that traverse canyon floors, you'll get an entirely different perspective on this area's red rock magnificence, looking up at crimson canyon walls set against a deep blue Arizona sky. The area is very convenient to the villages of Sedona and Oak Creek, extending right up to the edge of their posh resorts and galleries. Within this bit of suburban wilderness you'll find two of the area's most famous and most picturesque landmarks, Courthouse Butte and Bell Rock. New Agers say there is magic in these rocks, concentrated in centers they call "vortexes." Whether you believe in mysticism or not, you'll be one of a very few if you don't find your own magic among these picturesque formations. A number of trails offer access to the wilderness. Two you may want to try are Jacks Canyon and the Hot Loop Trail. Both lead from canyon bottom to high overlook. Quite likely you'll have them to yourself, just you, the jackrabbits and the rest of the wildlife, that is.
