    4X4 to Honanki Heritage Site

    One of Sedona’s best and most scenic drives, that happens to also lead to Native American ruins, has to be Loy Butte Road (FR-525). This route also forms the eastern half of the famous Outlaw 4×4 Jeep Trail. The road is very rough in places, especially during the latter part of the drive. The roa...

    Camp at East Pocket (Edge of the World)

    We love coming to this site in the Summer and Fall, but wanted to "test" our cold-weather gear before backpacking this Winter.
