Calling all Sedona Lovers & Hikers!
Sedona is one of my favorite places to hike, especially in the summer when it's a tad to hot to hike in Phoenix - a balmy 109 today! One of the hikes we like to share with visitors is called Schnebly Hill Road. The drive up and the views are absolutley spectacular. There are many spots along the way where you can stop, enjoy the views and take a hike if you like. It's also fun because there are lots of BIG ROCKS to climb around on - and what little or big kid doesn't like climbing around on BIG ROCKS and BOULDERS!
Post Script 2/14/17. Do NOT drive this road in your car or truck even if it's 4 wheel drive. We went up there last summer (8/16) and the road was extremely EXTREMLY rough. Honestly we were lucky to get to the top safely and not wreck the truck or get anybody hurt. I will never drive it again (which is a bummer as it used to be fun). ONLY do a jeep tour - you will thank me - TRUST ME ON THIS ONE!
The road up the hill is not for the faint of heart. Case in point our visitor from Toronto was on the floor in the back seat on the opposite side of the cliff holding on for deal life. And seriously in the 25 years I've been hiking in Sedona that was a first for me. She scared the bagebers out of all of us with her screams - which isn't an easy feat to accomplish with our motley crew! She's still alive so there is hope for all you faint at heart types! Oh - one more thing - be sure to drive a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Don't even think about taking a regular passenger car! Trust me on this one - ok?
Just to wet your appetite a bit more about Sedona here are a few more panoramic photos that really give the feel of the views. Wow and then some..............enjoy!
On your mark - get ready - mark your date to drive and hike Schnebly Hill Road in Sedona AZ!
