The Sedona Jeep Tour Experience

A Sedona jeep tour is a very popular thing to do in red rock country. Several companies offer Sedona jeep tour options, but the most popular trip is a drive up Schnebly Hill Road, the so-called "Broken Arrow" route, named for a Western film made here.

What to Expect on a Sedona Jeep Tour

  • You will travel in an open vehicle, and temperatures drop as you climb into the surrounding mountains. Dress in layers.
  • Bring your camera, along all the things you need to keep clicking.
  • You may get out for a short climb to a vista point. Wear shoes that you can walk on rocks and dirt in.
  • Don't forget to tip your guide.

Which Sedona Jeep Tour Trip?

Your Sedona jeep tour will last one and a half to three hours. Each Sedona jeep tour company has a slightly different set of options, and some call the same route by different names. If you just want to get out and see the red rocks, any Sedona jeep tour itinerary will do. If you have a specific destination in mind, be sure to ask lots of questions before you reserve.

Sedona Jeep Tour Companies

I took my Sedona jeep tour with A Day in the West, the oldest Sedona jeep tour company. Other well-regarded Sedona jeep tour companies are Red Rock, who use a historic trail traveled by General George Crook during the Apache campaign in 1871-72, and Earth Wisdom, specializing in spiritually-focused and vortex tours.
