Description

This Diamondback Gulch Tour brings the Arizona high country to life with a rugged off-road adventure. Step into one of the open-air Pink Jeep Wranglers and buckle up – you’re about to see why this tour offers something for everyone.

As you start out, your personal Certified Interpretive Guide will point out some of Sedona’s most iconic red-rock formations. You’ll also pass scenic Boynton Canyon, a setting for the 1947 John Wayne film, “Angel and the Badman” and the site of hidden ancient ruins. Mingus Mountain and the Black Hills appear in the distance, standing watch over the peaceful Verde Valley.

After arriving in Coconino National Forest, you’ll head down the rugged and remote Greasy Spoon trail. A section of the original wagon route between Sedona and Prescott, this century-old trail stretches back to an era before Arizona was a state. Catch glimpses of a colorful past when the cliffs, canyons, and forests were wild, uncharted territory and 50,000 Texas longhorn cattle roamed the land.

Continue on to Sidewinder Trail, where the rocky terrain falls into Diamondback Gulch—a deep ravine that slices through the land. Hold on while your guide expertly navigates the steep descent into the chasm before climbing out again. Expansive views greet you on the other side; the fiery red-rock trail contrasts the cool green of the native landscape and the brilliant blue sky.

Finally, an easy ride from the forest back to Sedona will give you plenty of time to catch your breath, steady your feet and plan your next off-road adventure with Pink Jeep Tours.

"Disappointing, overhyped, and extremely overpriced"

At $150-200 per person, the Pink Jeep Broken Arrow Tour in Sedona is extremely overpriced and overhyped. My boyfriend and I went on the twilight broken arrow tour. What they don't tell you is that they cram the jeeps completely full, and someone has to sit in the front, which is apparently more comfortable but much less thrilling. I was the lucky person put in this position because I was polite and let others go in front of us. The driver said we would rotate who would sit in front, which of course didn't happen, and I had to sit there the whole time missing what the people in the back were seeing. The majority of our trip was spent driving to the trail, which wasn't all that exciting. The "thrilling" part was maybe 8 minutes total. I wasn't too impressed with the driver's comedy routine, either. We got out once to take some photos, and that was it. We got better photos from Uptown Sedona. At the same price as a day pass to Universal or Disney, this is just a blatant rip-off. There are so many wonderful free or low-cost things to do in Sedona that are much higher quality. We really enjoyed Crane Petroglyph Heritage Site, Palatki Heritage Site, a birding tour with Tim of Birding Northern Arizona, and watching the sunset at Airport Mesa. These were all much, much better than the Pink Jeep Tours. Not recommended unless you're absolutely obsessed with jeeps and have tons of money to burn.

One of the highlights of our Sedona trip. The scenery, of course, was great, and our guide, Andy Helm, was just about as knowledgeable and personable as any guide we've had anywhere. Fun, educational, comfortable--all-around good time!
