Two vista points–Yavapai and Courthouse–are near to each other on opposite sides of the Red Rock Scenic Byway. There are hiking trails leading from both, but Courthouse Vista’s loop trail surrounding Bell Rock and Courthouse Butte is superior. It's 3.5 miles round trip, and moderately difficult. The walk up to Bell Rock is brief and easy. Visitors looking for a meditative experience will also want to seek out the alleged vortex on Bell Rock, so you may find people doing yoga or enjoying a moment of peace. Parking may be slightly easier at Yavapai, for what it’s worth!
