Light to moderate—able to climb short slopes and enter/exit a Hummer multiple times.
Ride a private Hummer along Sedona’s Red Rock West for two hours of close-up geology, quiet pullouts and guide-led insights. Perfect for travelers who want big views with minimal effort.
The engine kicks with a low, assured growl and the red-rock hulks of Sedona slide into the windshield—tall fins of sandstone, layered in rust and orange, rising like pages of an ancient book. You feel the vehicle flex on a washboard ribbon of dirt as the guide eases the Hummer onto a back trail. Dust lifts and falls behind; the canyon air smells faintly of juniper and creosote. For two hours you ride the edge between road and wilderness, where the red stone compels you to look up.

Bring at least 1 liter of water per person—desert heat and sun serviceable even on short drives.
Wide-brim hat and SPF 30+ sunscreen are essential; the vehicle offers limited shade.
Wear closed-toe shoes for hop-off viewpoints—sandstone can be hot and uneven.
A 24–70mm or 70–200mm range captures both sweeping buttes and distant wildlife.
The red-rock formations are Navajo Sandstone formed in the Jurassic; the area has long significance for Indigenous peoples and later ranching communities.
Stay on vehicle-approved tracks to limit erosion; avoid touching or removing cultural artifacts and pack out all trash to protect fragile desert soils.
Keeps you hydrated through sun and dust on the trails.
Protects skin and eyes on exposed trails and during peak sun.
