Schnebly Hill Road is among the most visited trails in Arizona that you can't miss if you like an off-roading challenge. It is a winding, steep, and unpaved road that greets you with breathtaking scenic views of towering red rock buttes set against a rich backdrop of the deep-green forest.
The road quality varies depending on the weather and how much grader work has been done recently. Avoid visiting Schnebly Hill Road during heavy rains, as the roads may be closed to public traffic.
The trail overlooks the Verde Valley and Sedona right below the summit, Steamboat Rock at the mouth of Oak Creek, and the mineral-rich Mingus Mountains to the west. The road can be driven in an hour, but allow more time to stop along the way.
