Sedona Adventure
Details
Come join us for an Adventure-filled weekend in the heart of Sedona! Amazing views combined with fun and challenging trails equals a perfect gateway from the oppressive Phoenix heat! This will be a two-day Adventure starting Saturday morning and wrapping up Sunday mid-afternoon. You can choose to come out on Saturday, Sunday or do both days. Please make sure to post in the comments which days you'll be joining us!!!
Most of the trails are red and rated somewhere between 4-5. There aren’t any major rock crawling obstacles, just long and steep up/down hills that are either slick or loose rock with numerous rutted-out sections. Gladiators should have at least 35-inch tires and 2+ inch lifts. Stock 2 door/4door Jeeps can make it with careful tire placement. At least one locker would be highly beneficial ESPECIALLY on the Skeleton Bones trail but not required.
We will be staying at the Hilton Vacation Club Los Abrigados. It's priced pretty reasonable for being in Sedona, is highly rated, and is only 3 miles from our meetup point at Safeway. You're welcome to stay anywhere you like though. Please book a REFUNDABLE hotel, we're still in a monsoon season and may have to cancel due to weather!!!
Please purchase Trail Pass for Soldier Pass ASAP for Saturday September 12th! There are only 12 spots available per day and our group will be 12 Jeeps! Link below:

We will begin the day with Broken Arrow trail. This is a short and fun trail that should take us a little over an hour to complete. It’s also the busiest one in all of Sedona so hopefully, it will be less crowded early in the morning.

The third trail we will do and ONLY if we still have the time, will be the Blue Monster Trail. This is a moderate and scenic 3 to 4 trail cutting through the Prescott National Forest. We really enjoyed this trail on our last trip to Sedona and looking forward to doing it again!

We will start our morning by conquering Skeleton Bones. This is probably one of my favorite trails in Sedona. The trail itself is about six miles of steep, long but FUN hills. This trail can be completed within an hour or two.
YOUTUBE VIDEO Skeleton Bones section starts about 7 minutes into the video.
FUNTREKS Description
The end of Skeleton Bones will take us directly into the trailhead of Red Rock Powerline. Red Rock Powerline is short, scenic, and purdy. This trail should also take about 2 hours or so to complete before we all part ways and head back.
