Solo trip on broken arrow

[glassjawkid32]

I will be out in AZ visiting family next month. I'm wondering how doable broken arrow would be solo without a spot or buddy with winch. Won't have any friends along this trip.

I don't think I've ever needed a spot out there, just follow the tire marks on the rocks and you'll be fine. Shouldn't be a problem at all. There will also be many Pink Jeeps out there.

Piece of cake, if you get in trouble there will be plenty of Pink jeep tours to help you out of any situation, also you can follow them and might be able to hear the drivers narration, good luck and enjoy. Be sure to walk up to submarine rock

Sweet I'm guessing soldier pass is even easier?

As stated, traffic on that trail will be bumper to bumper with pink jeeps.. If you go to Barlows Jeep rental, they will give you a map of the local trails as well.

Yes, but it's a pretty cool little trail. Make sure to hit all of the side areas and don't forget you need a permit which you can get at recreation.gov in advance.

For Soldiers Pass you will need a permit, it’s very scenic and very very short. Broken Arrow is the most scenic and my personal favorite of all the trails that I’ve done. If you have time do greasy spoon, homestead trail ( about a 1/2 mile hike from where you park to walk down to the creek) take Verde valley school road west all the way to the end about 4.5 miles from 179, at the creek it’s the most photographed spot in sedona

When will you be out there? I've been thinking of hitting that trail with my JT. I've done other trails, but not that one yet. Seems quite doable.

Got my permit a couple months ago so I'm ready there.

I'll be out the last week of July. On the fence about going out to sedona due to gas(I'll be in tucson) but hoping it'll be doable.

I’m in Tucson. Not sure if I’ll be available, but send me a message when you’re here and maybe we can do Rice Peak or something.

My son and his family will be moving to Tucson this fall. I will be plaining a trip out there in the spring. Looking forward to it. It will be different than the beach and trails in Fl.

Sounds good!

Be sure to take your time and enjoy the scenery and take a lot of pics. Trail easily done with one. Avoid weekends if at all possible.

Planning on going on a Wednesday for that exact reason!

You're going to have a blast.
