Sedona over thanksgiving?

[dwn4cause]

Hello, wondering if anyone on the forums lives in Sedona or plans to be there around thanksgiving? We plan to make a trip out there and would be nice to meet some people and do some trails. Any suggestions on which trails to do.. I know broken arrow is popular.

I just came back from there. I would highly recommend Schnebly Hill! It is not very difficult, you just have to really watch your lines in some places, plus there is literally a breathtaking photo op at every turn. I would air down since the sandstone is pretty rough on the first half of the trail though. Broken Arrow and Diamond Back Gulch are great for different obstacles that are more technical. Just my two cents.

Schnebly Hill

Thanks I did Schnebly Hill about 5 years ago in a SUV but I am sure it's changed. I do remember stopping at all the overlooks. I might try broken arrow, but was concerned about my longer wheelbase.

Pretty much all the 4 doors I saw out there had at least a two inch lift but I don’t know if that is necessary. Wish I could help but I have a 2 door.

I was there two weeks ago did it in my 4dr JL Sport if that is a stretched 6 door jeep you may have a problem with the Devils staircase. I run a 2 inch lift with 35's. I did hit the rear shock mount pretty good in two locations

Yeah it’s a 6 door Jeep with 3.5” lift and 37’s.. I think the staircase might be the issue it’s hard to tell from the videos.

What is the turning radius of that beast?

Not too far from Sedona -just East of flagstaff is the cinders OHV area. Some awesome places to drive on volcanic shale.

I haven’t measured it but it’s not super bad.. less than most of the 1/2ton pickups..

At Diamondback Gulch there are some ruins that are really cool! Old wall paintings and dwellings built up into the red rock.

I think with 37s and a lift, you'll be fine in the 6 door.. I did Devils Staircase in a stock tired, stock suspension JLURR and only had a couple small scrapes.. the wheelbase MAY actually be of benefit for you as you could bridge across a few of the larger drops.. The bigger concern could be turning radius. I have no idea how your turning is, but I think the staircase will be ok..

There are a few videos of people doing Devil's Staircase in a stock JL Sport. If you go slow and pick a good line you should be fine. From what I gather there are plenty of Jeeps out there to help get you unstuck if you need it.
