It would be a good side trip if you're headed towards Sycamore Canyon. This isn't much of a hike by itself.

It's a very short journey to the cave known as the Robbers Roost. The Robbers Roost Overnighter is a figure-8 loop designed to begin and end at the Cultural Park Trailhead in West Sedona with an overnight camp at or near Robbers Roost. The route starts on some premium singletrack, linking up trails such as the reworked Girdner, Chuckwagon, and the famed Mescal Trail, complete with a mesmerizing ride along a massive slab of red rock.

According to local legend, Robbers Roost (also known as Shaman’s Cave or the Hide Out Cave), located northwest of Sedona but visible from any high vantage point in town, was a hideout for bandits and bootleggers, hence the name. According to local legend, thieves and others running from the law once used this cave as a hideout.

The view is cool, but I think it looks even better in panorama.
