 Coffee Pot is a system trail in the Coconino National Forest. It is lightly-used and easy to follow over most of its length. Branching off of the Teacup Trail (shown below), it heads north to the base of Coffee Pot Rock, one of the most iconic rock formations in Sedona. 

 
The left fork in this photo is the beginning of Coffee Pot. 
The Coffee Pot Trail is also the best approach to Keyhole Cave, an extremely difficult but increasingly popular destination for photographers that is accessed via a social trail.

FINDING THE TRAILHEAD

The best place to park is the incredibly tiny lot on Buena Vista Drive.
