Finally I took the correct route up Mescal Mountain to the 5,043 foot summit. The mesa is reasonably flat, and I spent an hour circling the mesa along the cliffs. I made a one mile loop.
The trail is unmarked, and an unofficial climbers trail leads up to the mesa. Then there is a short class 3 climb up the cliffs and this eliminates most hikers. As a result you get solitude in Sedona. The hike is 3 miles round trip.
