Off-roading in Sedona

It’s easy to imagine Zeus and the other Greek gods bickering over whether to settle on Mt. Olympus or in Sedona’s sandstone red rocks. During the evening, the massive outcroppings turn a shade of red so intense and worthy of contemplation that they feel like massive antennae signaling to the new agers who flock from across the planet to admire them. Like so much of Arizona, Sedona is a place that holds onto its secrets. Many beautiful views are accessible from the road, but an entire world opens up when you have an off-road vehicle and a knowledgeable guide. To accommodate, there are several companies offering jeep tours to remote locations among the red rocks. Trips typically last between 2 and 3 hours and will take you to sweeping desert views and the ruins of ancient Native American dwellings.
