Red rock jeep tours

Sedona · Usually 1.5–3 hours · Easy to bumpy · $$

Ride rough 4x4 roads into the red rocks with a guide who drives and tells the stories.

Jeep tours are the most popular way to see Sedona's backcountry without hiking. Several local companies run open-air jeeps on Forest Service roads that most rental cars can't handle.

Tours differ a lot in roughness, so read the listing: some are smooth scenic drives, others climb steep slickrock. Ask about age limits and back or pregnancy restrictions before you book.

Tips

  • Book a morning or late-afternoon slot in summer to avoid the midday heat.
  • Bring a light jacket in winter. Open jeeps get cold at speed.
  • Check the cancellation policy on the partner page before you pay.
