Adventure Tips
Wear sturdy traction footwear
The trail is moderately rugged with rocky sections; shoes with good grip will keep you steady in the Jeep and when you step out for views.
Dress in layers
Temperatures can shift rapidly, especially between morning and afternoon; packing layers helps you stay comfortable year-round.
Bring sun protection
With Sedona's exposed desert sun, hats, sunscreen, and sunglasses are crucial—even on cooler days.
Stay hydrated
The dry Colorado Plateau climate pushes your body to lose moisture quickly; carry water to stay energized.
