One of my best experiences. Chris was a great guide and was at peace with what he was doing. His jeep driving skills over quite steep and rocky ground was amazing. He brought a divining rod and let us experience the electrical vortex of the region at the sacred pools. His flute playing was a highlight of peacefulness. Recommend this trip and ask for chris!!!

Private 8 AM Jeep Tour to Seven Sacred Pools (Soldier's Pass Trail)

kurtweishaar, Nov 2025
Booking the early 8:00 AM private tour was the perfect choice for exploring the Soldier's Pass Trail and the Seven Sacred Pools. The early start meant we were able to enjoy the beautiful Red Rocks in the cool morning air, largely avoiding the crowds that appear later in the day. Our guide, whose knowledge of the area was impressive, handled the rugged, off-road terrain effortlessly. The private Jeep experience made the adventure feel intimate and allowed us to move at our own pace, stopping for photos whenever we wished. Highlights included navigating the thrilling 4x4 section of the trail and taking a short, scenic walk to view both the mesmerizing Devil's Kitchen sinkhole and the unique Seven Sacred Pools. This tour is highly recommended for anyone looking for a thrilling yet serene way to experience Sedona’s exclusive backcountry trails. The combination of stunning scenery and an informative, private experience makes this a must-do.

Amazing Tour and Guide!
