Description 

This area is approached from the Sedona Cemetery. It is home to Red Lizard, a single climb that is totally worth the trip up to the wall. Supposedly the gully to the left of Red Lizard also has some routes.


Getting There 

From 179 turn east onto Pine Drive. This is just north of Chapel Rd. Follow Pine Drive back and into the cemetery. Park at the northeast corner of the cemetery by a large above-ground sepulcher. If you feel uncomfortable parking here, you can drive down past a maintenance shed and park there, then hike back up to the sepulcher. From here follow a trail into the brush until directly below the largest, most obvious buttress. Leave the trail and scramble up. Total hiking time is 10 minutes.
