Sedona, AZ Broken Arrow Run Saturday 4/19?

Anyone interested in running Broken Arrow next Saturday? Weather here in the valley is starting to warm up but should be in the 70's up in Sedona next weekend. Thinking about getting up there between 10-11 am. I've never run the trail before but by all accounts a stock 4x4 can do the trail. I've already posted this on a Jeep forum so their may be some of them tagging along.

If interested, post up here.

Sean

I'll be wearing a sweater in Toronto...

Actually, I'll be in a climate controlled auditorium listening to a lecture and trying to get on the net via my blackberry.

Re: Sedona, AZ Broken Arrow Run Saturday 4/19?

Sean, I would recommend a small group for this. I went on a Friday morning and I still had to back up to a pull out area a few times.It is a very short narrow run so plan on hitting a couple other runs to make the day interesting.

It has its views but don't expect anything challenging. I think for you ( since you have a buggy) you might find this boring so plan on a sight seeing adventure rather than challenges.

Have fun.

Re: Sedona, AZ Broken Arrow Run Saturday 4/19?

a stock fj can walk all over this trail, and going with what speedy said, I'd definitely do it in smaller groups. No matter what time, there's usually at least 5 pink jeeps on the trail and they always seem to demand that you move for them.

It is a nice fun trail though, with some nice views and can usually be done within about 1.5 hours, but 10-11 on a saturday might make it busier.

There's also greasy spoon in the area which I also found to be insanely easy with the FJ.

I know it's super easy....I'm just going for the scenery. It's one of those AZ must do trails that I've never gotten around to. I probably won't waste my time with any of the others.....I think Soldier's Pass is the next "hardest" trail there and it's easier than BA.

I'm planning to keep the group small. I know 10 rigs is the limit and I doubt I'll get over 4 going.

Anyway, if anyone is interested: post up here.
