    Incredible experience!!

    When visiting Sedona for the first time, I highly recommend starting out with a drive up Oak Creek Canyon before doing anything else. It is a picturesque 15 mile winding drive along Oak Creek itself before ascending to stunning lookout and vantage point where Native...More

    Beautiful drive

    THis is a gorgeous drive. We happened to be there in January and it snowed so we could not complete the drive on this trip. However, we stopped at a cute cafe for cookies and tea. I want to finish the drive on another day.

    Gorgeous part of the world

    The drive between Flagstaff/Sedona is not to be missed! Especially on a motorcycle. If you can stay in a place there, all the better. Very peaceful and beautiful.

    Beautiful route

    Despite the present road-works, this is a beautiful ride whether out of Sedona or out of Flagstaff. Take it easy and enjoy the small restaurants along the way.

    A Beautiful Drive

    We drove through the canyon for a day trip. You can also take Rte. 89A to Flagstaff and on your way to the Grand Canyon. We stopped at Slippery Rock State Park for a walking tour along the creek. There is some awe inspiring vistas...More

    think twice

    It's a beautiful ride from Sedona to Flagstaff, BUT it takes much longer than going by I-17. And this is especially true now that there is construction with inevitable delays. Not sure it's any more scenic than the ride from Village of Oak Creek to...More

    I highly recommend stopping by for a couple of hours at Slide Rock State Park for a cool dip in the stream or stop by the bridge on the north end of Sedona for great views. Oak Creek is an all year round cool source...More

    Unless construction completed I would avoid. Traffic was not the problem. Road was DIRT with huge ruts and holes. Glad we were in a rental car- I was worried about the axle

    Yes, there's Slide Rock it has a cost to get to that part of Oak Creek near Sedona. It was made a park. The creek has a lot of camp sites all along it which may have swimming holes if the water has gotten deep enough.
