Soldiers Pass, Sedona and hike May 28 2020(EASY)

There are no more motorized permits available for Soldier's Pass as of today 5.3.2022 so I've closed this run to RSVP's. See you there!

We'll do the short but fun Soldiers Pass trail in Sedona this Spring, visiting the Devils Kitchen sinkhole, Seven Sacred Pools, and hike up to the caves at the end. Lots of picture opportunities for your Jeeps and family so bring your camera.

This is a regulated trail via permit only, and 12 permits (one per vehicle) are allowed per day. Permits are $6 per vehicle. YOU MUST APPLY INDIVIDUALLY as group commercial permits are not allowed. Again, you only need ONE permit per Jeep. Permits are available 90 days out, so February 27th, so mark your calendar a few days earlier to start checking. If we get sniped on permits date may move to Sunday (separate run posting) or another trail may be substituted.
The permits are $6 at Recreation.gov

This is a few months away but if there is a change in open status on Federal lands and/or Sedona due to Covid-19 this event may be canceled at any time and all fees refunded.

*IMPORTANT
Before you apply for a permit please be absolutely sure you can go as they are non-transferable so if you don't show you are taking a spot for someone else. The fee for this run does not cover the permit cost because only individual permits are allowed.
