Table of contents

The Munds Wagon, Cow Pies, and Hangover Loop hike might sound like a trio out of a comedy movie, but this 8.2mi trail in Sedona is an epic hike with awesome views. With three hikes in one, you can see more of Sedona’s iconic red rock scenery in one go. This trail can be quite hot, so bring lots of water if you're hiking on a warm day. Expect heavy traffic.

Route Description for Munds Wagon, Cow Pies, and Hangover Loop

The loop hike that combines Munds Wagon Trail, Cow Pies, and Hangover Trail is an awesome adventure with plenty of Sedona’s classic red sandstone scenery to see. This hike delivers when it comes to the views, but it’s a bit longer and has a bit more elevation gain involved than many other hikes in the area. Make sure you’re well prepared for the desert sun with plenty of water, sunscreen, and a hat if you’re hiking between May and October.

The only complaint from users is that a section of this trail closely follows a route used by pink Jeep tours and ATVs, so it can be a bit noisy. Don’t let this stop you from visiting, though! Also, watch for mountain biker traffic and share the trail.

Starting from the trailhead, you’ll be on Munds Wagon Trail, which closely follows Schnebly Hill Road for a stretch. Where the loop splits, we suggest staying right to go counterclockwise. You’ll hike to the Merry Go Round Rock, a perfect photo spot, then hang a left to climb up to The Teapot and Pointed Dome. Revel in the red rock oddities as you switchback down from the dome and return to the bottom of the loop. Follow the roadside trail back to the trailhead from here.
