“We’re seeing a rise in hikers, particularly around the Demon Bridge area, which has led to several rescues due to people being unprepared for the heat,” said Amber Wagner, the transit manager. “Hopefully, by reducing services in this area, it encourages individuals to opt for cooler morning hikes.”
This adjustment is being made in collaboration with the U.S. Forest Service. The Sedona Shuttle will continue to operate Thursday through Sunday, including Labor Day on September 1st. The complete schedule is accessible online.
