The Experience

Before You Go

Check fuel and range

Plan fuel stops for longer drives—some stretches between towns have limited stations.

Dress for wind and sun

Bring sun protection and a windproof layer; the open Slingshot exposes riders to sun and gusts.

Secure loose items

Use zip pockets or dry bags; loose hats or cameras can blow away at speed.

Plan pullouts and time

Build extra time for scenic stops, photos, and slower speeds through canyon approaches.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Sedona Airport Overlook for sweeping red-rock panoramas
  • Red Rock Crossing / Crescent Moon Ranch for quieter Oak Creek views

Wildlife

Conservation Note

Stick to paved roads, pack out trash, and avoid roadside disturbance to protect fragile soils and native plants.
