Bell Rock stands as a rounded red cone south of Sedona’s main rock pile — the shape hikers circle on foot and the one aerial routes treat as a twin to Cathedral Rock. From a helicopter the cone reads clean against scrub and canyon shelves, with enough mass that even a short pass feels deliberate. On the Everything day and sunset tickets it follows Cathedral Rock in the named sequence, so you get both famous forms before the path swings toward Schnebly Hill Road, Thunder Mountain, and Boynton Canyon. That pairing is why Bell Rock belongs on the short-circuit Highlight list rather than only as a name on a long wilderness page.
You meet Bell Rock on the shared Sedona Everything Red Rocks 10-Minute Helicopter Tour: about 10 to 12 minutes, over 20 miles, from US$197 per person, shared for up to six with all seats facing forward. Live times show when you book. The Sedona Everything Sunset 15-Minute Helicopter Tour keeps the same named rocks at sunset, about 15 minutes, from US$257 per person, when the cone picks up warmer colour. The Sedona Secret Wilderness 30-Minute Helicopter Tour still lists Bell Rock before Bear Sign Canyon, Secret Canyon, and Gunsight Pass, from US$465 per person, so the formation remains a waypoint on the way into wilderness country.
Stay on the 10-minute day ticket when a compact red-rock loop is enough and Bell Rock is one of several icons you want named in a single short flight. Choose sunset when late colour on Bell Rock and Cathedral Rock is the reason you booked. Move to the 20-minute Sedona Ancient Ruins 20-Minute Helicopter Tour when Boynton and Long canyons with Sinagua cliff dwellings matter more than repeating the short loop alone. The 50-minute Sedona Mogollon Rim 50-Minute Helicopter Tour spends its core minutes on wilderness country rather than a Bell Rock close-up, from US$756 per person.
This is Bell Rock from the air only. You do not land at the cone, join a vortex walk, or stop at a trailhead. No Sedona helicopter Experience on this hub lists an intermediate landing; you return to Sedona Airport after the scenic path. Northern Arizona light and haze can soften the red even on an otherwise flyable day, which is why the cancellation rules matter on every ticket. Cancel at least 24 hours before departure for a full refund. Bad-weather cancellations bring another time or a refund as shown when you book.
Cathedral Rock opens the same short circuits and shares the sunset ticket. Boynton Canyon and Boynton Vortex continue on those paths and on the longer Ancient and Secret tickets. Gunsight Pass and Secret Wilderness belong to the 30-minute and longer flights. The Sedona hub keeps that order honest so Bell Rock stays a short-circuit highlight rather than a promise on every duration.
Base at Sedona Airport, 1200 Airport Rd, Sedona, AZ 86336. Arrive 30 minutes early; leave bags and purses behind — carry-ons of any size are not allowed on board.

All ages; infants sit on an adult’s lap. Book the short Everything Red Rocks Experience when Bell Rock on a day flight is the sight you want framed early in the window.
