Mescal Mountain is an easily accessible summit but infrequently climbed. The short class 3 climb up the lower cliff bands weeds out the casual hikers. Twice I have climbed it and haven't seen anybody. The mesa offers some impressive views for a low summit. It's about 3 miles round trip. I made it to the top in 45 minutes. The elevation gain is 750 feet.
Sedona is located in the interior chaparral, semi-desert grassland, Great Basin conifer woodland biomes of northern Arizona.
