The Broken Arrow Trail is a 4x4 off-road route located a short, 15-minute drive from Sedona’s city center. Famous for its steep ledges and rocky paths, it spans around 3 miles roundtrip with highlights including Chicken Point, Submarine Rock, and the adrenaline-pumping The Steps—a rock staircase that challenges most drivers’ navigation skills. Visitors can either bring their own high-clearance vehicles or book a guided Pink Jeep Tour. 2. Scenic Highlights One of the most iconic stops along the trail is Chicken Point, offering a panoramic view of Sedona’s towering red rock formations and the sprawling Coconino National Forest. The area is also known for unique geologic features like Submarine Rock, a massive sandstone formation that resembles a surfacing submarine. Combined with vistas of the blue sky against red cliffs, the result is jaw-dropping natural beauty. 3. Guided Tour Option For those without off-road vehicles or experience, booking a Pink Jeep Off-Road Tour is a convenient and comfortable choice. Knowledgeable guides provide a safe journey while sharing fascinating insights about geology, history, and local flora. Plus, the jeeps are specifically equipped to tackle the trail’s more technical sections.

Sedona’s Broken Arrow Trail is part of the Coconino National Forest, which preserves much of Arizona’s desert wildlife and geological formations. The trail also appears in several movies, making it a Hollywood favorite for capturing the rugged beauty of the American Southwest.
