ABOUT THE TOUR
Tour Page: Sedona Vistas & Landmarks Guided Hike
How difficult is this hike?
The hike is tailored completely to your group's preferred style—from ambitious mileage over rugged slickrock to a relaxed, unhurried pace focused on scenery and photography. Baseline routes cover approximately 3 miles on natural surface trails with rocky terrain and mild elevation changes, and your guide adjusts the route and elevation gain to your group's ability.
How long is the hike?
The total experience lasts 4–5 hours depending on pace. Distance varies based on route selection and group ability.
Are kids allowed?
The minimum age is 10 years old. Groups with younger children should consider the Private Sedona Red Rock Discovery Hike, which welcomes kids age 4 and up, or inquire with us about options.
What time do tours depart?
Departure times are baseline recommendations for this private hike. From May through September, we recommend starts between 6:00 AM and 7:00 AM to beat the midday heat. From October through April, we recommend the 8:00 AM and 1:00 PM starts. Custom start times can be accommodated on request.
Where do we meet?
The meeting location is provided upon confirmation of your booking, at a trailhead chosen for your group's route. Your guide will call the afternoon or evening before your tour to confirm details and answer questions.
What should I wear?
Sturdy, closed-toe hiking shoes or boots with good tread are required (no sandals or flip-flops). We also strongly recommend weather-appropriate layers, a sun hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
What should I bring?
Bring 2–3 liters of water per person, electrolyte snacks, and a packed lunch for our extended backcountry break. Carry a small day pack for personal essentials and a camera for photos.
Can we stop for a trail lunch?
Yes. An extended break at a scenic overlook for snacks, hydration, and a packed lunch is built into this 4–5 hour experience.
Is this a private tour?
Yes. This is a private experience at no private fee—strictly your group, and we never add other guests.
What if the weather is bad?
Tours operate rain or shine. We only cancel or reschedule for dangerous or severe weather conditions, and the decision to do so is made solely at the discretion of 360 Adventures.
Do I need a Red Rock Pass?
Yes. A Red Rock Pass or America the Beautiful Interagency Pass is required to park at most Sedona trailheads. Passes can be purchased at trailheads, many local vendors, or online.
What is the cancellation policy?
This tour has a 72-hour cancellation policy. Please read your confirmation email for complete booking details.
