Dust rises like a promise as tires bite red earth and the Jeep climbs. On the Extreme Sedona Off‑Road Canyon Jeep Tour, the town’s postcard rocks flip perspective: towering buttes become walls you can almost touch, narrow gullies funnel wind and stories, and the driver nudges the vehicle over ledges that feel engineered to test both machine and passenger.
