HikeHoods: 125 SYCAMORE x Castle Rock || RE/MAX Sedona

Where to start with 125 Sycamore? You may not even feel the desire to hike after witnessing daily sunsets from your own property! 125 Sycamore, listed by the Coleman Group of RE/MAX Sedona, is at the base of Castle Rock. Though tourists consider the beloved Bell Rock to be the center piece of the Village of Oak Creek, any local will tell you it is actually Castle Rock.
Castle Rock gets its name (as most rocks do) from looking like a castle! Can you see the drawbridge? Castle Rock is its own formation that is connected by a saddle to the much larger Seven Flying Apaches. The Apaches create a natural boarder from the Chapel neighborhood to the Village of Oak Creek and are an unavoidable sight while driving on SR179. Living at the base of this formation is truly a treat, especially when the sun goes down.
Once you become a local, you will have to do as we all do and discover this trail system on your own (or call your Realtor!) as publishing any information would put the author on a list. The nearest maintained trailhead is Bell Rock Pathway, however, the time it takes you to drive here would be longer than walking out your front door. Though Bell Rock Pathway opens an entirely different HikeHood, it can be accessed from a locals-only trailhead on Red Butte Drive, less than 5 minutes walking from 125 Sycamore. From this same local trailhead, head toward Castle Rock and take the windy trail system until you reach the saddle just north of the formation.
Lay down a blanket, open your bottle of wine, spread your charcuterie and then sip and snack as the sun sets over Cathedral Rock, Thunder Mountain, and Red Rock Crossing. You likely will not have any company you did not invite. Enjoy spending time with a loved one as the sun sets on your beautiful new home.
