    Panoramas galore

    Apart from the airport loop, this hike is less traveled, giving just as gorgeous a view! You'll trek across a stream at the base, too.

    Nice one-hour Sedona overlook

    This road heads north of Sedona and the paved section ends at a nice overlook. It is so close that it is worth the short drive. The road continues beyond parking area but it is rough. Only proceed if you have a jeep or similar...More

    Amazing views, fabulous sunsets

    We did a jeep tour for sunset and were thrilled by the beautiful sunset. The views are astounding. The road is very difficult to maneuver, would strongly recommend a jeep tour.

    Love the drive

    I haven't driven this road in many years. Need a 4WD or a high clearance truck. I've driven it once with a car back in the 1990's but would never do that again. I just love the views from the top where scenes from many...More

    For The Uninitiated Please Be Careful! You Need a 4 X 4

    If you are traveling to Sedona looking for vortexes and unfamiliar with Schnebly Hill Road, be warned that it is a very primitive undeveloped dirt road that is dangerous, especially at night! You will wreck up a small little rental car on this road and...More

    Only in a high clearance vehicle

    Drive at your own risk if you have a high clearance vehicle or take a commercial jeep ride. Nice views of Thumb Butte and the Bench.

    Great Ride

    If you like a rough ride and beautiful scenery, you'll love this drive through the Sedona Red Rock country. Either coming down from Flagstaff or from Sedona to Flagstaff, it's a beautiful and breathtaking experience.

    Schnebly Hill Road in disrepair

    I traveled Schnebly Hill Road a couple of times before about 10 years ago and it was in better shape back then. When I first drove on the road 10 years ago it was a little bouncy and had to steer around rocks periodically, but...More

    Be careful what you wish for

    We always love "off the beaten path" routes, but perhaps we went a little too far on this one. It's 12 miles from rte 17 to Sedona on this dirt road, but it took over 2 hours in an F350, if that gives you any...More

    This is a great tour and should have no problems with your concern for heights.

    The ride is only worthwhile during the daytime with good visibility so you can enjoy the views. So only downhill from I-17 into Sedona. No other reason on earth to take this trip unless you want to have a 4-wheel-drive... More
