Devils Bridge #120 is an easy, short out-and-back hike in Arizona's Red Rock-Secret Mountain Wilderness, within the Red Rock Ranger District of Coconino National Forest. The trail is managed by the Forest Service and sits at about 4,600 feet, with a high point of roughly 4,970 feet. The route is about 1.7 miles long and gains about 25 feet, so it's a gentle walk rather than a climb. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from the nearby Oak Creek Canyon weather station show May highs around 78°F and October highs around 74°F, while July and August average about 90°F. The trail is open to horses, and bikes are not allowed. The parking area is named Devils Bridge, and the trip is short enough to fit into a day spent exploring the surrounding area. Lost Dry Creek Cirque, a climbing area, and the Devils Bridge mountain biking route both lie about 0.3 miles away. The Fin and Dry Creek Spires are climbing areas within a mile. For an overnight stay, Chavez Crossing campground is about 4 miles off.
