Boynton Canyon Trail Jeep Tour Sedona: Hummer on Primitive Desert

A primitive trail in Sedona means rock scrambles and tight turns, not smooth switchbacks.

This 2-hour Jeep tour follows the Boynton Canyon Trail in an exclusive Hummer, winding through Sedona's high desert terrain with rock scrambles and steep sections that test both vehicle and driver. A live English-speaking guide meets you at check-in, handles the waiver, and leads the route. All fees and taxes are included.

The experience

The Boynton Canyon Trail is a primitive route, not a scenic drive. You'll be in an exclusive Hummer navigating high desert terrain where the vehicle has to scramble over rocks and thread through tight passages. The guide handles the technical driving while you experience the jolts, the angles and the exposure that come with off-road conditions. Check-in happens at the start, where you sign the waiver and meet your guide before heading out.

Two hours on this trail means you're moving through the landscape without long stops for photos or interpretation. The red rock formations of Sedona surround you as the Hummer climbs, descends and angles across terrain that a standard vehicle cannot reach. The primitive nature of the route is what makes the experience physical (your pulse will race), and it's also what keeps the group small and the ride unfiltered.

Dogs are welcome on this tour, and service animals are allowed. You'll need at least moderate fitness to handle the movement and the terrain. Children as young as three can ride, but pregnant travelers cannot join, and the tour is not recommended for anyone with spinal injuries or cardiovascular concerns. All fees and taxes are built into the price. Gratuity is separate and typically runs 15–20% if you choose to tip.
