Jeep Tours

Several jeep-tour operators headquartered along Sedona's main Uptown drag conduct excursions, some focusing on geology, some on astronomy, some on vortexes, some on all three. You can even find a combination jeep tour and horseback ride. Prices start at about $60 per person for two hours and go upward of $100 per person for four hours. Although all the excursions are safe, many aren’t for those who dislike heights or bumps.
