I found the canyon scenery spectacular. Pristine. Nice hiking trail.the red rock area is beautiful. Farther north the red iron oxide disappears as you climb up and out of the canyon crawling back and forthalong the high walls.

This was our first trip to this part of the country, and now we know why all love it here. The majestic red rocks, cacti, trees, and creeks are gorgeous.

This was a fun drive in the off season (but I can imagine it might be a bit busy and frustrating in the high season). Great views can be enjoyed even by the driver, although take advantage of the pullouts to get the most of it. The views were more varied at the southern end of the canyon (the rocks... More

My wife and I hiked the west fork of Oak Creek one day and it was just wonderful. this is one of the best hikes in all of Arizona. one of our personal favorites for sure. The Wave, the creek, the majestic scenery, the deep green trees against the red martian landscape.. breathtaking.

Saw some cute hotels and cabins along the way that I wish I would have known about earlier. Very easy and comfortable road with beautiful views of the forest and red rocks. We stopped at Slide Rock State Park for a beautiful walk by the river.

Spectacular views and winding road on route to Grand Canyon a must at least one way---there is a flatter alternate road as well---drove this Canyon Road before and opted for a mini-van with great driver and guide this trip---well worth the money

Aside from the sheer rock walls that you don't see in the East, I would have never thought that I was in AZ; it felt more like PA or... More

We left the Grand Canyon and headed to Flagstaff to take the scenic route to Sedona via Oak Creek Canyon. The 2 lane road twisted through beautiful country. A large truck had to pull over to cool his brakes, but we enjoyed hairpin turns at a safe pace. The scenery is a lovely change from the straight line drive from... More

It's just incredibly beautiful. Twelve miles of unmatched splendor. Stop and splash around the creek. Hike the west fork of Oak Creek. Take your little kid to the trout pond. Drive up out of the canyon to the scenic view spot and marvel at what you just drove through. It can be very busy during the hot summer months, especially... More
