Broken Arrow and Outlaw Trail - Off Road In Sedona Arizona

We travel to Sedona Arizona to drive the offroad trails Outlaw Trail and Broken Arrow. Since we fluew in to Pheonix before driving to Sedona, we decided to rent a Jeep Wrangler. We meet up with our friend Josh from ‪@OverlandAZ‬ , who drives a Jeep Wrangler JKU. We're also joined by our good friends Beth and Jake who take a stock Dodge Ram truck out on the trails. We experience the beautiful Arizona sunsets, historical ruins, cultural quirkiness, and some of the most fun off road trails we've ever driven. Also, Kate does most of the hard driving in this video and becomes a much better driver by the end of Broken Arrow.

[@SixOverland]

Nicely done! Rock crawling is so much fun. Glad you guys got a little taste!

[@Venture2Roam]

Doing more soon!

[@GeefromBC]

Awesome video Will. Arizona is definitely on the top of my bucket list. And there’s definitely people under the stairs 😂

[@Venture2Roam]

Seriously..I got freaked out a few times in that house!

[@GeefromBC]

@@Venture2Roam Should’ve communicated with them

[@mikehoffman3690]

We just ran both these trails this past week. Stopped at the Indian ruins on Outlaw Trail. Sedona is the best.

[@Venture2Roam]

Glad to hear it. I loved both trails for different reasons..can’t wait to go back and see more.

[@RevereOverland]

Great video with beautiful shots! I can't believe the kids weren't interested in dirt.

[@Venture2Roam]

I'm working on them...but it's a losing proposition vs the pool.

[@SimplyMustGo]

What an awesome trip!! Sedona is on my bucket list and I can’t wait to get out there.

[@Venture2Roam]

Thanks Matt. It was really fun. We need to go back!

[@flyfisher530]

Agree with Doc, great video Will! Love seeing what Arizona has to offer, so much to see! See ya at OXPNW!!!

[@Venture2Roam]

Thanks Mike. See you in a few weeks!

[@DocWrangler]

Man those scenes are epic! Sedona is definitely on my list! Thanks for bringing us along, great video!

[@Venture2Roam]

Thanks Ian. I can't wait to go back there with my own Jeep.

[@leemen]

Awesome video. I wish I could have seen this before we went there. We stopped in Sedona for a day before overland expo west. Some of the stuff you did we definitely would have done. We gotta go back!

[@Venture2Roam]

We have to go back too. I think we just scratched the surface.

[@JEEP-N-DIRT]

awesome video for on the fly work. Lol.

[@Venture2Roam]

Thank you! No gimball, no charger for drone batteries..but I think we sill got the shots..even if they are shakier than normal lol.

[@JEEP-N-DIRT]

@@Venture2Roam Seriously, you killed it. Did what you had to do and made it look good. Really a statement on your skills. It's about the skills not the equipment.

[@OutOfOfficeCamping]

Some super cool spots, and the Bed and Breakfast looks like such a cool place. We laughed when your daughter? said "Story Of My Life" as you walked down the trail shooting content. Mark (& Teresa) Hampstead Maryland Ford Ranger - GFC Camper V2 #1919

[@Venture2Roam]

The bed and breakfast was a trip...really cool quirky place...a very good representation of Sedona in general lol. I struggled with putting the kids on camera, but that part was too good to leave out lol. Thank you for watching!!!!

[@OutOfOfficeCamping]

@@Venture2Roam 🙂

[@DiscosVideos]

@@Venture2Roam can you share the name of the bed and breakfast? I'm planning a trip with the family in early June (hope its not too hot) and looking for some fun places to stay besides camping.

[@Venture2Roam]

@@DiscosVideos I think it's called the Dream Maker.

[@DirtTheory]

One day, I'll make it to Arizona.

[@Venture2Roam]

It's so different that what we have in Idaho or what you have up in BC.

[@DirtTheory]

@Venture2Roam is it ever amazing views, that's for sure.

[@tomaszciolkosz9346]

Sedona is very nice, I feel like u little overreacting on this video, i just make this trip with Mitsubishi Outlander with my family. Good shots on camera guys!

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Looks super fun! And those views... Nice work man.

[@Venture2Roam]

Thanks Fletch - it was a blast. Have to go back to Sedona.

[@TommyKnockersOverlanding]

Arizona wheeling is so different than other places! I love it!

[@Venture2Roam]

It really is. I've been to Moab, which is the closest place I can compare it to...and it feels very different.

[@TommyKnockersOverlanding]

@@Venture2Roam moab is only about 45 minutes away! Utah has a lot of beautiful places! I think our next trip will be to the dinosaur national park area on the Utah Colorado border!

[@garrettshort2162]

Ok just outside of jarome there is a great trail that will take you into sycamore canyon looks just like the grand canyon!! Secondly you need to back to jarome and go to the haunted hamburger 🍔!!

[@Venture2Roam]

We were going to go to the Haunted Hamburger, but it was too busy. I really want to go back. I have a whole section I cut on going to the old hotel, where a grounds keeper let us in to see the old rolls royce and pierce in the garage there. It was awesome. That trail sounds really cool..have to go back.

[@stoneydrivesrc7420]

The reason the Indians drew the yeti is because of the Sasquatch that live in the area called by locals the Mogollon Monster !!! Trust me I used to live in Flagstaff and work in Sedona

[@BakerOverland]

This makes me want to go to Sedona now. Awesome vid Will as usual.

[@Venture2Roam]

Thanks bro. Sedona is awesome. Definitely worth a visit.

[@ezmerelda4450]

Man, sorry I missed you! Glad you had a fun experience. Next time you’re in Central Az, let’s go wheeling. I’ve been here since the 80s and would love to show you a few gems…off the beaten Sedona paths

[@Venture2Roam]

Would love to go back and experience some of the lesser known trails in my own Jeep! Thank you for watching even though the trails we hit were probably old news for you :)

[@michaelmazarei]

What is the name of the bed and breakfast you stayed at? Looks amazing!

[@Venture2Roam]

It was called the Dream Maker I believe.

[@the305hauler]

Booyah 👊🏽 😁 👍🏽 🇺🇸 I love Sedona. And hope to live in Idaho soon 🙏🏽

[@Venture2Roam]

Right on. Welcome to Idaho!

[@jdshaw2751]

As someone who does rock crawling, and overlanding, Kate Did awesome, but those trails didn't appear as challenging as I would have expected. Jeeps are born for that kind of terrain! Go easy on Kate. I didn't see a major danger factor. Yes, you need to pay attention, but I doubt 4wd was needed for most of it. Maybe going up the staircase. Great video though! Beautiful scenery!

[@Venture2Roam]

Thank you so much!!! Great comment. The first trail was not challenging for a Jeep, it was mostly dirt with a few stair step wash outs. Broken Arrow is a significant trail though. The rock has reasonable grip, but when there's a layer dirt over it, it gets slick. But honestly, in a Jeep it was mostly mental. However, did you see the part where someone rolled the exact same Jeep on the same trail like two weeks after we left Sedona? To me, that shows that there is real danger on that trail..especially if you are experienced or didn't put the rig in 4WD. We had the advantage of having Josh with us, who'd run the trail before and was a great example of tire placement and speed on each obstacle...that made the trail much easier for us I think. IMO you should put the rig in 4WD as much as possible on trails like that...not just when you think things might get technical...it's not an emergency option, it's a traction and gearing option that really helps, even on easy stuff. Kate was learning how to control the wheels on dips and use the gas to bump up the back end, it takes some practice to get that feel..and Broken Arrow is an excellent training ground. She is a great driver..I was probably more nervous than she was 😂.

[@jdshaw2751]

@Venture2Roam I agree with most of your point of view. The only difference is seat time and knowing your Jeep. I'm not saying you both didn't do a great job. I'm just saying that living in North Idaho and having experienced extreme off-roading, a point of view really does boil down to experience and seat time! You both did great, though. My only real suggestion is it sounded like you were a little panicked a couple times. The person spotting really needs to be calm and collected or it reverberates into the driver! Think of riding a horse bareback. That horse feels everything through you! So does a driver who's being spotted on a trail. If they can't see, they are driving from feel and guidance!

[@Venture2Roam]

@@jdshaw2751 great points and point of view. Although I think you just compared Kate to a horse lol. I probably would have sounded less panicky if we had walkies..I was also trying to be loud so she could clearly hear me over the sound of the engine since she couldn't see my hand signals...but you're also right, since then I've done a few more rock crawling trails and am much more comfortable spotting. It's fun to learn new things thanks for your perspective.

[@jdshaw2751]

@Venture2Roam I wasn't comparing Kate to a horse. I was using the horse as an example of the feeling transfered from the person giving direction. Lmao. A panicked rider will transfer the same way as a panicked spotter. Kate did great, and she broadened her experience! All in all, it was a great video with beautiful scenery!

[@Venture2Roam]

@@jdshaw2751 I was just trying to joke with you about that 😂. Your comments are “spot” on.

[@GUIDE_Nico]

Unfortunately "Make your expedition" closed down.

[@Venture2Roam]

Oh no..that's sad to hear. They were very thorough with us, and I really appreciated their approach.

[@its-andrew-y]

just saw this as well when i searched them. almost certainly due to the incident. what a bummer. sounds like most people had a great experience. just glad nobody got seriously injured

[@JeepFreak1941]

Josh is such an amazing guy, I'm hoping to get to do some trails with him soon. But here In Az you only experienced just a tiny piece of all the beautiful trails here, there is so much more to explore. Great video glad you guys had a good time!!

[@Venture2Roam]

I agree on both accounts. Josh is a good friend, and we have to come back to AZ and see more. What an incredible place!

[@katherinefrost5808]

Beautiful!!! You are a wonderful storyteller!!!

[@Venture2Roam]

Thank you!!!!

[@DefiantOffroad]

Arizona has never been high on my list of places to go for offroading, but clearly I need to change that!

[@Venture2Roam]

Same here…until we did this trip, now I can’t wait to go back.

[@BuckinLifeoffroad]

AZ is an off roaders paradise 😊

[@ChanceP]

Arizona is my favorite state to hang out at in the winter 🏜☀️

[@Venture2Roam]

I bet. It was April I think...75 degrees and sunny vs 45 degrees and stormy in Idaho lol.

[@CoasttoCoastOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks for the video. I just moved to AZ and Sedona is an hour and a half away. I’ll be hitting Broken Arrow this weekend!

[@Venture2Roam]

That is such a fun trail!

[@Brtt0n]

I could never deal with a stock vehicle tagging along like that

[@westyso.cal.8842]

Beautiful scenery, and some fun looking trails. Very different than here in Idaho. Kuddos to Kate for making it look easy. What time of year did you guys visit Sedona? We’d love to take our JK down there for a weekend and check out that Outlaw Trail. 🤠

[@Venture2Roam]

Kate is an awesome driver...can't wait to shoot more vids with her on the trail (she currently has a boot one one her legs and can't off-raod/camp). We were there in October and it was really great weather. Outlaw was a great trail, and there are a few more out there in that same area.

[@GUIDE_Nico]

23:30 good point to say driver (turn left ) and passenger (turn right)

[@SkylinersYeti]

What most people do not understand that undisturbed soils are alive with bacteria, fungi, & nematodes along with larger organisms. That is why growing organically is so productive. (fun fact). Always stay on the disturbed trails and do not create new trails which damage the natural ecosystem of the soil.

[@Venture2Roam]

Thanks for the info...great point about staying on trails and not forging new ones.

[@michaelfusco7446]

Such a cool video! We are heading to Sedona in February and we just got back from it Idaho! We did most of the state in 16 days and look forward to returning some day we loved it. Would love some info on how to hire Chad for some trail riding while in Sedona. Thanks again for sharing

[@Venture2Roam]

Wow! That sounds amazing! You can connect with Josh on IG. He’s Overland AZ. He has a great FB group too.

[@MaXGTS1]

Don't take a regular rental car or truck on these trails. Worst case scenario you break down or get a flat and you're on your own. Visit one of the Sedona offroad jeep rental places and rent a properly equipped Jeep which also offer assistance should something happen along the trails. I always use Barlow and rent one for a 24 hour period. Be sure to get the tire insurance they offer.

[@Venture2Roam]

Great tips!

[@davidb.turknett4447]

We were in Sedona October 21. Rented a Jeep and did some trails. I want to take my 05 TJR up there next time. I don't need to see the downtown area again, don't like the crowds.

[@Venture2Roam]

100% agree. We actually stayed outside of town because I didn't want to be in the mobs of people. Downtown Sedona is definitely not my cup of tea..but the trails were amazing!

[@DiscosVideos]

How hard is the trail to that bat cave? I have a lifted subaru outback and some decent offroad driving skills (not in the Subi yet though).

[@Venture2Roam]

To the bat cave was not too bad at all as I remember.

[@IcyReaper]

Very scenic, never knew about that area, will be cking it out during next years OL Expo. When were you there, wondering when weather is best.

[@Venture2Roam]

We were there in April and we had highs in the 70s and low 80s with lows in the 50s. It was really nice.

[@VegasRobzilla]

Broken Arrow must of been great 20yrs ago when you were allowed to do the really cool obstacles now it's to crowded with tour jeeps and all the fun stuff is off limits

[@Venture2Roam]

I thought it was pretty fun as is..but now I'm interested to know what people used to be able to do there!

[@TrailNewbie]

So amazing! Man, I want to get out to Sedona soon!! Such an incredible spot. Loved this video!! 😊

[@Venture2Roam]

Thanks Greg! Sedona is definitely worth a visit.

Welcome to AZ & our trails. Those are common all around AZ. Fun stuff. I learned something new in this video - Jeep rental in Sedona that has non-stock Jeeps. Never knew that, never needed it but good to know!

[@Venture2Roam]

There are a few companies that rent modified Jeeps. It was a great solution for us since we flew in.

[@t.o.f.t.s.]

You seemed more nervous than your wife.😊😅

[@Venture2Roam]

Uhhh I wasn’t more NERVOUS…SHE was more nervous!!! Not true. Kate was solid, I was a wreck.

[@darksideemt]

Great job as always making me jealous of where you wheel. Sedona is high on my list of places I want to go soon. Loved Moab but we are way more into the scenic stuff like this. Thanks for showing me places I didn't know about and to add to my list to visit when we do make it out there.

[@Venture2Roam]

So glad to hear you liked it. I feel the same way about Moab. I love it and enjoy it...and will go back..but Sedona seemed a bit more accessible for us as a family. Thanks for watching!!!

[@dj_laundry_list]

Looks like fun - can't wait to try it with a subaru

[@Venture2Roam]

A subaru on 35s??????

[@sgtpepperz25]

This is where I grew up, learned to 4 wheel out here.

[@Venture2Roam]

Right on. I can’t wait to get back out there!

Pink jeep has been trying for over a decade to pass legislation to close Broken Arrow to the public. They want to be the only ones to access this public land for their own commercial interest.

[@Venture2Roam]

I hope they never win.

[@MidwestVoyager]

Ah yes, the ever entertaining pool! As I've turned into a dad, a knowledgeable local is what I'm most drawn to in our travels. That will keep me entertained way longer than the rest of the family would like! I love learning about the history of an area we are in.
