Toyota's Take On Sedona, Jerome AZ

This was a little impromptu trip I was invited on 5/12 with 4 other 4 Runners. We did Broken Arrow, Soldiers Pass in Sedona then 4 of us went on to Smiley Rock Trail. That was A LOT to take on with my 2 small kids, however aside from the potty breaks and silly questions - THEY DID EXCEPTIONAL! Enjoy the pictures!

The 'Smiley Rock' itself!






This is the 'Rocky Section' toward the end of Smiley Rock Trail. It was tough for me without any lockers or lower gearing. Josh is going to attempt it....


It was a lot worse than these pictures make it look! To me, seeing these makes them look like little rocks, however from a passengers perspective it's quite a bouncy ride!

The wife and kids were getting to bounced around, so they wanted to walk it.


You can see my the tire sidewals there was lot's of rocks that we rolled over!


I know there was a lot of pictures, these were only a small amount considering there was over 110 pictures we took. Hope you guys enjoy!

those are awesome pics, looks like a blast out there. It would so much fun to get out and wheel the west instead of the east once

Sedona was an unexpected Detour. It was only done because we got on the freeway @ Camp Verde rather than going straight into Cottonwood.

I was WIPED OUT Saturday night and all of Sunday. That is when IFS has it's benny's over SFA.
