Broken Arrow is positioned close to Sedona, AZ. It affords a low issue stage path for lifted and outfitted autos and a medium stage for inventory autos. (It isn’t that onerous to barter because the notorious Pink Jeep Tours of Sedona run it dozens of occasions a day.)
There have been seven brief wheel primarily based Jeeps in our group on a Saturday morning. The path itself takes about barely greater than 2 hours, assuming you cease and mess around on the rocks and do lunch close to the half manner level. It form of jogs my memory of a mini-Moab place. There is a few slick rock to drive on, nonetheless, it isn’t fairly the identical materials as that present in Moab. I discovered that my locker was chirping the tires a bit extra right here than at Moab. None the much less, it was a enjoyable day….in any case, there have been 7 of us attempting to determine simply what to do to make it extra satisfying for everybody!
Our first pleasure begin only a brief distance down the path. We have been taking part in on some rock ledges when ppphhhhttttttttttt………………(that sound that Jeepers actually hate).
“Holing” your sidewall is at all times good for killing 15 or 20 minutes on a brief path. Luckily, that was the one incident we had through the day.
We ate lunch at Chicken Point. I’m not sure why it’s referred to as that as a result of nothing within the rapid vacinity appears to be like like a hen. I suppose it may very well be on account of the drop off that surrounds you, however it isn’t that steep. Granted, you possibly can’t drive the Jeep down it….effectively, possibly you possibly can….hmmmm!
Scott, my oldest son, got here with me on this journey. Here we’re on the high of the Devil’s Staircase, as it’s referred to as. It is stretch of rock ledges, that begins on the high of the hill, and also you form of stroll your Jeep down them. A few the blokes went again up after the final car cleared the impediment. We posted a “guard” on the high of the hill to forestall anybody else from beginning down whereas our guys have been going up. (form of like driving the flawed manner on a a technique avenue…oh effectively, we have been simply having slightly little bit of enjoyable)
Near the top of the path, there’s a little place to detour by way of so all of us took a flip placing our Jeeps by way of the alternate route. It is my understanding that the Pink Jeeps come down this, as we witnessed one of many pink drivers do that. The laughing and screaming vacationers have been moreover themselves. Go determine…we’re all watching one another and commenting on traction, wheel articulation, and so on. Yep….Jeepers to the bone, each one in every of us! My son Scott is standing to the left of the Jeep taking a film (720 KB)of me climbing this little rock.
OK…I wager you retain questioning in regards to the Pink Jeep Tour factor. I believe there must be some form of federal regulation that claims you possibly can’t do that to a Jeep. Imagine, being painted pink after which having your physique modified to haul round a bunch of screaming vacationers! Most attention-grabbing was one of many pink girl drivers who began telling us what to do, and so on. (sure, she had an angle downside for certain). We politely ignored her….I suppose she forgot that we have been on forest land, as was she. At least we weren’t promoting silly rides and sporting ruts within the highway doing it! (sure, you possibly can see the ruts within the rocks from the Pink Jeeps sliding down the Devil’s Staircase!)
So…here’s a pink Jeep….this makes me sick!
Well, after that final photograph….I believe we have to name this a wrap. I might push Lady off a cliff and complete her earlier than I might ever let her get painted pink and be topic to a lifetime of vacationer shuffling. But, on the brighter facet, not less than they picked probably the most succesful off-road car ever made to carry out such a job!
