    You'll love Montezumas castle and the entire Sedona area. Those trails are great. Are you going to be hiking them? They have jeep tours but are somewhat expensive. Bell Rock is really cool. Did that over Thanksgiving holiday. Hole in the rock is neat. Be sure to check it out around sunset. South mountain is great for views and sunsets as well. Good hiking. The gf and I have spent alot of time up there. Four Peaks brewery is great. Its in tempe. 21+ only tho.

    I kinda doubt you'll be able to do all of that in one day in Sedona... possible but you'll be really really pushing the clock on that.

    Have fun though!

    Great thread bro. Looking to move to Prescott in about 3 years. Gonna head there the day after tomorrow for about 3 days. My wife and I love it there. Any word on some decent locked 2wd trails up there? Who knows, by the time we move I may have bought a new Taco, this one will be 4wd.

    Sedona prefers 4x4 on all trails for tread lightly. However there is a TON you can do in arizona with a locked 2wd and have plenty of fun.

    Thanks for the heads up. I'm thinking there might be more high speed trails out toward Chino Valley, it's a bit flatter out there from what I've seen. A bit more my speed for now.
