Sedona Arizona Trail(s) Question...

[German300]

I will be driving out to Sedona from Chicago in July. I've found out about two trails while online; Broken Arrow and Soldier Pass. About a month ago I bought a 2008 Hummer H3 and it's the base model w/auto trans. I just put 285/75R16 BFG All Terrains on it but otherwise have NOT modified.

As it sits will my H3 be able to handle the trails above and/or any other suggestions someone may have for the area? Can't get too crazy because this is also my daily driver and way to get back to Chicago.

Thanks in advance.

Your truck will easily handle both of those trails with no other modifications. Be sure to buy a Red Rocks Pass from one of the Ranger stations - it's only $5 I think for the day. If you want Hummer company that day let us know and we can show you those trails. There's one more trail we do, Oak Creek Homestead, whose main feature is one good hill near the end where there's a rope swing for the creek below.

Thanks alrock, I am a newbie at this and may take you up on your offer; having someone with experience around could be a big relief!

Thanks again. Will be in Sedona July 10 - 12

Sedona is a beautiful place. You will really enjoy it. Too far for me for a short trip but probably get some company from some AZ members if you want it.

Noticed in the videos that nobody has side [nerf] bars on their trucks; will I need to take mine off?

 

[alrock]

Yes, you should take those off. There are a few steps that might eat those. Not so tough of a trail that you need rocker protection or UCP but the nerfs would not be happy.

Saw your dates-midweek might be tough to get up there

That's okay, appreciate the thought anyway. Monday I'll be nosin' around Moab.

You should make contact with Neo while you are in Moab.

I live in flag(~20mi from Sedona) and can help guide you around Sedona. Broken Arrow is a good family run, bring a good camera!

If your up for it try "top of the world" just outside of Moab. I overheated 1/2 way up and never got the photo of my rig on the edge. .

I drove out from Chicago last year. Hit Garden of the Gods in Co. Tons of stuff along the way. How much time do you have?
Find a local to go with if you can.

Sedona is beautiful and those two trails are fun and easy. If you can get company, I'd recommend it.

German300 already sold his H3, but at least he did it after his trip out west last summer.

Shame he sold it....

Just realized the dates he posted. I'm a little slow.
