Description

Looking for a fun, scenic off-road adventure everyone in your group will love? The Lil’ Rattler is your perfect introduction to Sedona’s red rock backcountry.

This relaxed Jeep tour is designed for families, first-time visitors, and anyone who wants excitement without extreme terrain. You’ll climb into a custom open-air Jeep, meet your knowledgeable (and often cowboy-hat-wearing) guide, and set off toward the wide-open landscapes of West Sedona.

As you ride beneath the towering cliffs of Doe Mesa and Bear Mountain, you’ll feel just enough bounce to make it adventurous — but never overwhelming. It’s the kind of off-roading that makes kids smile and grandparents comfortable.

The route winds through the scenic 7 Canyons area, where layered red rock formations stretch across the horizon. You’ll pass iconic landmarks like Thunder Mountain and the dramatic walls near Boynton Canyon, stopping at panoramic viewpoints along the way. These breaks give you time to take photos, stretch your legs, and soak in views that define Sedona’s desert beauty.

Your guide brings the landscape to life with stories of geology, early settlers, and Native cultures — helping you see more than just red rocks. You’ll learn how the cliffs were formed, spot desert plants you might otherwise overlook, and maybe even notice wildlife tracks in the sand.

By the end of the Lil’ Rattler tour, you won’t just have incredible photos — you’ll leave with a genuine connection to Sedona’s landscape and a fun memory everyone in your group can share.
