SonoranWanderer 715 Posted October 28, 2025 (edited) This is a two-trail run, Schenbly Hill Road in the morning followed by Broken Arrow for the afternoon. You do not have to run Broken Arrow in order to join us for Schenbly Hill Road. Schenbly Hill Rd is a scenic drive from I-17 down into Sedona with spectacular views looking down into and across Sedona and if we are lucky we may still catch some of the remaining high elevation fall color. When & Where: Saturday: November 1, 2025 @ 9:30 am Depart on the trail no later than 10:00 am Location: Schnebly Hill Rd Exit 320 (west side), I-17 (Google Maps Link) Nearest Gas Station: is just north of the Schnebly Hill exit. Munds Park Chevron off I-17, exit 322 (Google Maps Link) Trail Rating: Easy / Moderate Schnebly Hill road is rough but can be navigated easily with any reasonable clearance trail-rated SUV/CUV. Broken Arrow is a solid moderate for the major non-optional obstacle, the Devil's Staircase. Vehicle Requirements: Both Trails Front and rear recovery rated tow points Aggressive A/T or M/T tires are required Means to deflate and reinflate your tires Schnebly Hill Rd ( easy ) High clearance 4x4 or AWD vehicle designed for trail High in this case means at least 8+ inches of clearance. AWD "sport" CUV need to be their trail rated or trail enhanced trims Broken Arrow ( moderate ) High clearance, 4x4 with low range Lockers optional Full size vehicles are not recommended although if you really want to run with one, reach out to me and we'll discuss Aggressive A/T or M/T tires are required At least 33", 35 or larger recommended Communications: GMRS Channel 17 (462.600mhz). We may change GMRS channels as needed to avoid busy local repeaters or other nearby groups. Additional Considerations: Dress for the weather, Sedona in November can be chilly in the mornings Bring a chair! Bring a lunch, snacks, and plenty of water Recovery gear / traction aids Emergency supplies / Med kit Sunscreen! Don't forget that camera - you're going to want it Bring a positive attitude! Sign-Up/RSVP: There is a limit of 9 vehicles. Don't worry if you end up on standby; people drop out as plans change and you very likely will end up getting a spot! As part of your sign-up, please let me know the type of vehicle and if you intend to run both trails on only Schnebly Hill Rd.

David P 32 Posted October 28, 2025 Put my name on the list if you think my old Jeep Cherokee can handle both trails especially with devil staircase. I always wanted to go there in past but I couldn’t make it. I wanted to see if my old Jeep can handle devil staircase before I take my wife there in January for her birthday. Thanks! 🙏 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David P 32 Posted October 28, 2025 Thanks, Woody. Is there a nearby gas station near staging area before everyone gets there by 9:30am? Hopefully someone can take photos and videos of me 4wheeling both trails so I can show them to my wife and friends. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SonoranWanderer 715 Posted October 28, 2025 (edited) Google knows me too well. Planning my morning timing to get to the trailhead, and Google suggests by default that I just run up Schnebly. In any other route, it would pick the shortest time by default. Edited October 28, 2025 by SonoranWanderer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
