Another trip up and back on the famous Broken Arrow Trail. This is my 4th time running this trail and it never disappoints. It's a short trail but a really fun trail. We saw a stock Tacoma and a stick Jeep getting dirty today. Nit recommend but they made it. I was in a Raptor today with 37" tires and I think we bottomed out two or three times. Keep in mind that if your vehicle is stock make sure you have a short wheel base and absolutely must have 4 wheel drive. read more

Overall a delightful hike- We arrived early, so parking was easy (they had about 14 set spots)- however when leaving we noticed the lot was beyond packed & people were circling for spots (bit of advice) As we walked along the bumpy trails there was an element of rock climbing & inclined spots Also note- watch out for the Pink Jeep Tours; professional intense driving (they look like a great time) but their roads intersect with the trail a fair amount & they drive up certain viewpoint walks- The trail started off well marked, then hit a viewpoint area, and signage dropped off-while we thought we were scrambling up Chicken Point, we discovered we were just scrambling for fun & were able to view the real Chicken Point from the top of our mountain Then we wanted to take Hog Wash trail back-but couldn't find the loop connect at the end of Broken Arrow I still rate the trail very high because our random scrambles were quite challenging & entertaining- it's a great area to explore based on your capability- and offers many varying side paths read more

Though I did not hike it, I took Pink Jeep Tour's best and most popular tour, the Broken Arrow Tour. It's also supposedly their most extreme off-road adventure. It was rated "Bumpy" which is a level 3, and by their description is "intermittently bumpy, but no prolonged severity." It felt more like "Rugged," which is level 4 -- a step above -- at times. The views are phenomenal. We went up and atop the iconic red rock formations. Chicken Point was my favorite. I could have stood there for hours and taken a million more photos and would still be in awe of nature's beauty. Coming back down was fun, especially down "Devil's staircase." Not for the faint of heart. Exploring Broken Arrow Trail was the best part of our short trip to Sedona. I'd love to hike it one day! read more

Not much to say about this trail. There are great views, it is well traveled and it is not too difficult. It connects to some areas with beautiful vistas. The only issue I have is that people can drive up to it. Not that they shouldn't enjoy it themselves but I'd rather do trails where there are not off road vehicles or people who come in by the busload (literally) and make a lot of noise. read more

We stayed at an air bnb with easy access to this trail. It was great. It was an easy/moderate hike. Some uphill. The view was pretty cool but very windy. We saw a bunch of people doing a jeep tour. It was pretty easy to navigate. read more

This was my husband's favorite hike out of the 5 we did in our weekend trip to Sedona!!! I loved this hike too - mostly for the amazing killer views at the end. From parking lot to the amazing view, I think it was roughly 2 miles there, so 4 miles round trip. It was quite easy to navigate, although I would say it was a little difficult due to the lack of shade. I also think most of the hike looked almost the same, up until the very end with the fantastic view. Some were complaining about the Pink Jeeps - honestly, they weren't too bad. They're pretty far off in the distance, so you really don't hear them at all, unless they're close by - which seldom occurred during our long morning hike (I think we arrived around 8am, finished by 11am). Also, they were actually quite handy, as they were super nice tour guides, who even offered to take our picture, even though we weren't part of the Pink Jeep Tour group!!!! Awww. That being said, if you're not a great hiker, or just don't want to hike, the Pink Jeep Tour is a great option for achieving the same view. The tour guides actually seemed pretty fun from what we could hear, although they looked quite bumpy too. If you're feeling up to it, you can also take a side trail to Submarine Rock, which was a short little excursion, with hot view. I can't say we stayed there long, but it was fun to see the Submarine Rock from a distance, and be able to reach it a little while later. Broken Arrow Trail was so amazing, and a must see & must do for your trip to Sedona! read more

Easily our favorite hike in Sedona! With a variety of viewing points and elevation changes along a well-maintained path, we felt this trail was the perfect balance of challenge and relaxation. The trail meanders and allows for people to take side trails up the mountains if they want or to keep forging ahead. We took a couple hours to get down the trail to Chicken Point and back, taking a detour along the way to Submarine Rock. While it was pretty busy on top of Chicken Point with hikers taking photos, we found the trail to have a comfortable amount of people on it overall. We encountered a lot of mountain bikers, so it certainly is great fun as a multi-use trail but keep an eye out so you don't get run over. You'll also see a lot of the Pink Jeep tours driving around too. It's such a fun trail for everyone, so make sure to take a hike down Broken Arrow while you're in Sedona! read more

The Broken Arrow Trail is one of the better hikes we tried in Sedona this year - pretty much everywhere you turn you'll be rewarded with some truly awe inspiring views! Starting out from the parking lot and continuing to Chicken Point the terrain was fairly easy; a good beginning. As we worked our way further up the trail the terrain turned rockier, and the going become more challenging. Tip Chicken Point is a great spot for photos; another exceptional one is Submarine Rock. We had an excellent day hiking this trail - my only complaint relates to the noise from the Jeep tours. They pass quite close to the trail in several spots and the noise totally breaks the wilderness mood and detracts quite a lot from the otherwise lovely venue. read more

A gorgeous off road drive, or a nice easy hike through the red rocks of Sedona! My siblings and I hiked the Broken Arrow Trail when visiting Sedona for the first time this fall. This was a friendly trail for all levels of hikers, providing knockout views, and great photo opportunities. The hike spans close to three miles, is dog friendly, and heavily trafficked by bikers and off road vehicles. There's a number of pathways for vehicles, and several companies in town that offer off road tours for an insiders look at the red rocks. Worth the hike for the views alone! read more

This trail provides great views and a nice hike. Just know you'll get a lot of Jeep noise. There is a nice parking area for this trailhead, but it can be pretty crowded, especially with Jeeps prepping for some offroad adventure. Once you get on the trail, the hike is lovely, but provides very little shade. Take your time and make sure to look behind you every now and then, because the views can't be beat. If you decide to venture to Chicken Point, this is where you'll have the most Jeep activity, since the paid tours bring their guests here to frighten them a bit. Chicken Point itself is starting to be disco9lored and look like an actual road from all the tire wear :( As you head back, you can veer off to Submarine rock (which you can see from points along Broken Arrow), which you should do, it's pretty cool and not too much farther, maybe .7 each way. As always, take a lot more water than you think you need, and please leave no trace to help keep Sedona beautiful. read more

This is the premier off-road trail for the pink jeep tours and everyone who has ever taken their 4x4 off-road has probably been on this trail. This is a super well kept OHV / off-road trail. Lots of fun obstacles to tackle for your off-road vehicle from easy to tackle rocks, to a fear inducing climb down the devils staircase. I've seen stock and lifted Jeeps, modified 4runners, Quads and dirt bikes here. With up close and personal views of Sedona's famous red rocks as the highlight of this experience, this is a must drive trail for any 4x4 enthusiast. For those who don't have a vehicle or a friend to drive you, Pink Jeep will be happy to get you here too. See you on the trails! read more

Overheard from a tour jeep: "The problem with hiking is that you have to walk." The footpath intersects with the Jeep trail 2-3 times, and the many lookout points offer opportunities to bet with your hiking companion about whether that idiot in the Jeep a mile away is about to slide off the tracks. Because of the popularity of this area with 4WD fanatics, it's not a particularly tranquil hike for those hoofing it. We watched a few mountain bikers grunt their way up the steepest parts, and built a loop for ourselves by taking High on the Hog and Twin Buttes legs back to the trailhead parking lot. Trail markers are noticeable for most of the Broken Arrow stretch of trail, with miniature maps for reference when trails cross. I'd recommend 2 bottles of water per person for this hike, plenty of sunblock (very few opportunities for shade once BA ends), and comfortable shoes for scrambling. read more

Difficult to park at the trail head but did find parking in the neighborhood nearby. Great hike with a nice trail with beautiful views. Fun to watch the vehicles and bikers on the trail. Enjoyed a nice hour and a half walk. read more

Beautiful trails here. Great views and photo ops. Everyone here seems very nice and good about social distancing. Some part seem a little dangerous for off reading beginners - but there are warnings at the beginning! The only trouble we had was that there were areas of the trail where you would have to back track in order to let a car going in the opposite direction pass. There aren't really enough spaces to pull over and the trail is mostly only wide enough for one car. A lot of pink jeep tours here, but it isn't too bothersome if you're going on your own. I would return if I were ever in the area again! read more

This hike/rock climb was fun! We took the detour and found the cave. Once you turn off of the trail to go to the cave is when it turns into a rock climb. It is definitely a difficult hike if you add on the cave. But it is definitely worth it. The views are amazing! We were able to catch a ride with a personal van service. There are only 14 spots in the parking lot. The surrounding homes have signs everywhere about parking. read more

We take day trips to Sedona quite frequently & this is one of the best trails we've been to! All the times we have gone through Broken Arrow Trail have been in a Jeep, so I can't comment about how difficult the hiking trails are. The views, however are the best I have seen. A few of the spots to check out are Devil's Lookout, Submarine Rock, and Chicken Point. Although we've already been there 3 or 4 times, we always feel like we can't wait for the next time we have a chance to go back. This is trail is definitely worth the drive! read more

Enjoyed this trail tremendously. Hiked by foot. Less than 2 hr hike more or less. Parked at entrance parking since we rented a SUV AWD. Our favorite so far. Easy hike, just move over for 4x4 pink jeeps. Walked back to car in the dark with head lights. 3.6 miles. read more

The Broken Arrow Trail is rated as a moderate to adventurous trail by those in the know. I rate it as one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Broken Arrow was the second leg of our half day off-roading adventure.It was a trail I had read a lot about, but had always been a little afraid to tackle. This year the guides at Barlow convinced me that I should give it a try and I am so glad we did. Broken Arrow is not for everyone. It can be done by novices if you follow the map and have the right vehicle, but I would recommend getting your feet wet on an easier trail first. The trail has several climbs where all you can see is blue sky through your windshield. Some were so steep that I couldn't believe a Jeep could make it, but make it we did. I did get nervous a couple of times where we kind of lost track of where the trail was. Try and follow the tire tracks, but get out and scope out the area if you're not sure. There was one point where we almost followed some tracks down the side of a mountain that was not the trail. I even asked some hippy playing a guitar if he knew where the trail was, but he didn't have any idea where he even was. We eventually found the trail and got back on course without his help. The most exciting part of this trail is known as "The Devil's Staircase" or just "The Stairs". It is a pretty extreme obstacle and was more exciting than any roller coaster I've ridden. It combined a very steep descent, rocks everywhere, the Jeep being tossed about and an excitement I can't even describe. To give you a general idea my kids were screaming the whole time as I couldn't stop laughing like a lunatic. At one point in the descent one kid was yelling "we are going to die" while the other was yelling "I'm dead". Once we successfully made it we all wanted to do it again and said it was our favorite thing of all the off-roading we did. It was intense. Other than the complaint about losing the trail, my only other issue was the plethora of Pink Jeeps. Some of the drivers seemed friendly and waved while others seemed disgusted anyone but them was on the trail. The trail can be very narrow at spots so you need to make sure and be on the lookout for others. I hope to return to Sedona again next year and you can bet money that I'll be out on this trail. read more

The wife and I love this trail. We have done it many times (before we were on yelp) and continue to enjoy it each time. This is a great trail if you have a Jeep, rent a Jeep or do a Jeep tour.....we used our own Jeep. Once you get thru the gate keep (large rocks to keep put low clearance vehicles) the fun is on. Most of the trail is 4wd Hi but a few spots 4WD Low is suggested. Submarine Rock is the first stop and the large formation reminds you of.....a submarine. Great place for photos. Next is the turn around point and there's a protruding rick that if framed correctly sideways it looks like your hanging off a cliff. Look for the Jeep tour passengers....LOL. There is a round a bout rock you drive around and also a steep rock hill that all the tours go on. It looks worst that you think but you can't be careless on it. I used 4WD Low and crawl slowly down it. If you want to be adventurous with your 4x4 but don't want to drive for hours to get to it this is the trail for you. As with all these off road trails there are hiking trails that weave their way around and thru them so be on the look out for hikers. And with rumors that some other trails will be limited to traffic, please tread lightly and enjoy the time out there. We went twice on this past trip in April 2017. read more

I really love this trail and the trails around here. The hiking is great, not too steep, and not too many people. Parking is pretty easy, and this is definitely an underrated hiking trail - better for the people who know about it! read more

For Hiking: Quite possibly our favorite trail yet. Husband doesn't do heights or steep drop offs. Me, I'm a bit more adventurous (but not too much more). This trail fit the bill for both of us. Scenery, solitude (minus the Pink Jeep crossings 1/2 way in), and varied terrain. Lots of sun but also plenty of trees to keep things interesting instead of flat desert landscapes in every direction. Glad there was a fence around Devil's Dining Room. Would have hated to "stumble" upon that one in the dark. (Cue Wile E. Coyote falling off a cliff) Posted a few pics to share the views. Can't wait to go back! read more

I didn't hike this trail but rather took the pink jeep tour out here. I must admit I would have loved to hike this trail! The guide said it would be about 3 miles RT to hike from the parking lot to the main view point. There were a couple noteworthy view spots (chicken point, submarine rock) animal rock formations. The guide said the sunset from submarine rock is awesome there. Wish I had heard about this hike before. Definitely worth it! There's a parking lot at the entrance which you can leave your car or you need a high clearance vehicle to drive out. The road is dusty so be forewarned. Interagency pass of $5 day use pass is required to park. read more

Breathtaking views. The trail is a little technical, but if you have at least 1.5" inch lift and a 4x4, you will be able to make it to the Payoff at the end. The trail is very narrow and there is a lot of traffic so we found we had to let others pass frequently and vice versa. I think it was about 2 miles round-trip so not too long which was awesome. We also stopped at submarine rock on the way back for a small hike and a trip to the top of the rock for more breathtaking views! read more

Wow... what a wild ride! We took our Jeep Rubicon up the trail on a rainy Sunday in September 2021. We struggled for a bit, fearing a little bit for our lives or at the very least getting lost. Then, we found a Pink Jeep Tour and followed their wild driver all the way to the top. It was a blast! I can't believe that Jeep doesn't give a completion plaque for this one! Recommend everyone to have a spotter, go with a friend, or follow a tour if you've never done this one before. It was even more fun splashing around in the mud!! My hubby left the mud on all the way home, just to show our friends. LOL read more

Well.. We showed up driving a rental 2020 Camry and I wish now i had recorded it. It made it to the parking lot just fine but had to make a bunch of educated guesses on where the the beat point of attack would be. I'd suggest driving something lifted to the parking lot. And if you want to actually go up and wander through the trails, I'd highly recommend a 4x4 and know how to drive on harsh terrain. It is like a Jeep Haven, they are everywhere and like people mentioned before me please avoid being in front of the pink Jeep's because they are apparently paid by the trip and not the hour. After getting out of our car and immediately asked by a fella driving a lifted Toyota TRD pickup we parked next to if we did okay on the cow grates. This hike was amazing. Stopping at any moment of the trail, look up and spin around and simply be amazed by the surroundings. So incredible. Trails are well marked, there are a few steep spots and tall step us/downs but it's not too bad of a hike. Lots of friendly people, including the 4x4 roadways, bicyclists and runners and never anything other than a smile and hello. read more

The broken arrow trail is a must if you are an off road enthusiasts. My wife and I brought our ATV's and after a long hike, we had just enough time to get a ride in on the broken arrow trail. These trails have a few hairy spots that would not be recommended for the novice ATV rider. Along the way, you will encounter Jeep's (including Pink Jeep tours), dirt bikes, mountain bikers, and even some hikers. The scenery is incredible. We spent about two hours on the trails and believe we covered 80% of it. Enjoy! read more

Broken Arrow Trail - End of the trail with valley over-look. - Hiking Near Me

Overrun by Jeep tours and ATV's. Breathing in fumes from engines is not why I visit the wilderness.

This is the trail that got me started with off-roading, so I might be a little biased. TRAIL Easy-peasy. The Pink Jeep guys try to make it seem all horribly difficult, but I've done this trail in bone stock Xterra and did just fine. Granted, as a newbie you will have quite a few opportunities to sweat through your diapers. Overall, there really isn't much of a place to do something horrible to your truck. VIEWS A few very nice places to crawl out, take pictures, wander off into the distance. The places looks awesome during sunset and is out of this world during full moon. TRAFFIC Many many Pink Jeeps and on a weekend many groups and single drivers all over the place. Pink Jeeps don't like traffic, but will tolerate you anyway. OTHER There is a steep step that your truck needs to get over right at the beginning. For anyone interested to know, Infinity FX45 on 20" rims cannot get over it without tearing front bumper off. read more

The Broken Arrow Trail was great and the view was even better. There were three 4x4 vehicles driving around in the area. One of those were the pink jeep tours while the other two were something else. A little further down the trail was chicken point where the mountain looked like a chicken. It was a great photo op in my opinion. A lot of people were taking pictures on top of the rock for the view. Other than that, the trail was used by a lot of bikers and hikers. It was definitely nice to see in person as pictures don't really does it justice. We had a great hike through the area and would recommend checking it out. read more

Whenever I think of Sedona, the Broken Arrow trail always comes to mind. It has got to be one of the most awesome 4wd trails ever! If you do not have a 4wd vehicle, then rent one or take the Pink Jeep tour here. You will not regret it. While you are enjoying the bumpy ride, you can take in all the beautiful scenery. Red rocks everywhere!! Stop and take pictures at places like Submarine Rock, Chicken Point, and Devil's Dining Room. My favorite part of this trail is going down "The Steps"!! I have heard it called the Devil's Staircase! It is an awesome descent down some very rocky ledges!! Very cool! Broken Arrow Trail is a place in Sedona that should not be missed by folks who love off roading!! read more

Great trail in Sedona! It's a fairly easy hike and it's about 3.4 miles out and back. I love that it's shaded throughout a good portion of the trail. The views are just incredible from here & you can see various valleys and we even came upon a sinkhole. The trail is easy to navigate and there are various indicators to let you know you're on the trail. My dog had so much fun here with all the running around! It is busy with the pink jeep tours at times, so that was the only con since I love hiking to get away from the city life. Aside from that i enjoyed this trail and loved the views and canyons throughout the trail. read more

Hands down this is the most beautiful trail I've ever run. This a challenging 4x4 trail only suitable for modified vehicles, and not recommended for fullsize trucks like mine. I ended up with a little Arizona pinstriping but it was well worth the views. You could probbaly run this trail from start to finish in about an hour, but you're going to want another hour to get out and absorb the panorama. read more

Had a great time 4 wheeling in my Tacoma today on the trail. It was my first time taking my truck out on anything requiring 4-Low. Tons of pink jeeps out (my wife counted 9 in sight at once) but not too bad on the trail. Everyone keeps up a fine pace or moves out of the way. Not many scratches on the truck, any full size truck though will get scratched pretty bad from the bushes. Definitely made for jeeps and taco sized vehicles. Definitely recommend, the scenery, the challenge, and the fun all make this a great trail. read more
