Pink Jeep Tour

A 2 hour drive north of Phoenix is the beautiful town of Sedona. Living in Phoenix the past 14 years, I have only managed to visit this magical place a handful of times and I have never truly gotten to experience everything it has to offer. For my birthday this year, my mother treated me to a Pink Jeep Tour of Sedona.

If you are planning a trip there, I suggest you give the Pink Jeep tours a try. It is definitely worth the money. There are many different tour options to choose from, but we decided on the Broken Arrow tour. A 2 hour long ride in the back of a jeep through the wilderness of Sedona. It is amazing! You load up into your tricked out jeep (made for some major off-roading and we found out why). The tour guide takes you over treacherous terrain and up to different lookout points. We started at Eagle Rock and then made our way to Chicken point. We found out why it was given that name later. It was so nice to see Sedona this way and we learned quite a bit about the history from our tour guide. You are able to hike a trail through the same path that the jeep took and save some money, but for our first time it was nice to be on the jeep. Plus, the jeep tour ended up being quite the rollar costar ride.

We went down this!! (My mom screamed the whole way down too)

The tour comes with lunch, so once we arrived back at the pink jeep station, we headed over to their new café "Pink java café" for a sandwich, some fresh brewed iced tea and of course a cookie. Yum! We sat out on the terrace overlooking the beautiful Sedona red mountains and Snoopy Rock. I just loved the names!

Hahahahaha

What a great day and wonderful birthday present. Thanks Mom!
