Trip Highlights
This is one of Sedona’s gem hikes as we walk back in time on old wagon roads (now trails) to a red rock saddle that offers incredible views. The rugged trail we follow, named for the overhanging rock that shelters part of the route from the sun, is a Sedona must-do for guests who are excited to earn their views. It involves exhilarating steps on pure sandstone up Schnebly Hill for vistas and panoramic views of the canyons below. This is also a great hike to hear the history and story of T.C. Schnebly and his wife Sedona, for whom the town is named after, and really connect with the historical context of their story. If you’re interested in spectacular red rock views; fantastic, rugged Sedona hiking; and fascinating natural and cultural history, look no further!

7 months agoSpectacular hike
recently went on my first guided hiking experience, and I truly enjoyed it with my group. The views were absolutely spectacular, and the slick rock climbing was so much fun. Our guide, Nicholas, was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful throughout the trip. He even prepared a fresh lunch for our group, which I really appreciated. I'm very thankful to him for making the experience so memorable.
