Be careful what you wish for

We always love "off the beaten path" routes, but perhaps we went a little too far on this one. It's 12 miles from rte 17 to Sedona on this dirt road, but it took over 2 hours in an F350, if that gives you any...More

Scarey!!

I must admit, we took this road at a very bad time. It was at night during a rainstorm so that had a lot to do with this review. We were coming home from Flagstaff and Hwy 117 was at a standstill. We knew Schnebly...More

stunning views

Beautiful, beautiful scenery. It leaves the busy hustle, bustle of the city and enters the beauty of Sedona hills. The winding road provides locations to stop and admire the surroundings

Best road for a complete view of the valley. Great rails and amazing views. Very bumpy, take it slow.

This was a really fun day trip. We have a big jeep so the rocks didn't bother us but an all wheel drive or SUV can make this trip very easily. It is very bumpy, no obstacles though. Go very early in morning and take...More

From Schnebly Hill Vista point ~ Visual Awesomeness !

SUV or Truck suggested for better ground clearance ,albeit I got about 6 miles in to Schnebly Hill Vista point for this Photograph in a FWD Camry / no worries. One of the most Incredible Drive's One Can Take in Arizona period.

You can take the Pink Jeep tour or other transporters but this off-road truck trail can be negotiated in a Mercedes SUV with 9 inches of clearance with judicial selection of course over the road. We got an ovation from the Pink Jeep Tour groups...More

Incredible Views

Rent a atv, empty your kidneys, and take a long exciting and tooth rattling ride up Schnebly Hill Road. The top is over 6000 feet up, with scenery that cannot be believed. Go slow, pay attention, you may see javelinas on the trail. I saw...More

Hi, donna. What would you like to know about this attraction? Just wanted to let harrier2018 know we did the same drive in a 2 wheel drive impala. It was in late Ocotober of 2015 and very cold. Snow was coming down and it was dark for the entire ride. At one point the car completely turned off from the jostling. It was hard to hold the wheel , navigate around the big boulders and keep the high beams on. We enjoyed your travelogue and glad you survived. When we finished our scary drive we were both so shook up we cancelled our dinner plans. For sure, this ride was one of the most frightening experiences we've ever had. It was intensified because of the snow and darkness.

Answer

The ride is only worthwhile during the daytime with good visibility so you can enjoy the views. So only downhill from I-17 into Sedona. No other reason on earth to take this trip unless you want to have a 4-wheel-drive... More

Hi, we're a group of Singaporeans who were thinking of driving along Schnebly Hill Road, as part of the Route 89/89A scenic drive with a rented Ford Compass- it has a ground clearance of around 8 inches. Would that be sufficient clearance? We were thinking of starting from Wickenburg and turning onto 179 at Sedona to enter Schnebly via I-17, before following 89A up along Oak Creek Canyon. Any advice or comments about our route would also be appreciated! We've heard a lot about it from many other online sites (including this one!) and how scenic it is :)
