How fit do I need to be?

There are day hikes in Sedona to suit all skill and fitness levels, so even if you’re not an experienced hiker, there’s a hike for you. For beginner hikes, if you can walk for three to six miles with little elevation gain while carrying a daypack, you are good to go! Intermediate hikes will see more change in elevation and hikes will start to increase in length, hiking anywhere between four to eight miles while carrying a full daypack. Advanced hikes are full-day treks with steep descents and challenging switchbacks. Keep in mind, the weather in the summer can be very hot in the Grand Canyon and you’ll also be carrying a full daypack, so expect a challenging day even for the most avid hikers.

Pam Schwartz about Red Rock Treks on 57hours

Perfect, warm, accomodating, gave perfect direction, I felt safe and was still having fun. I adored Andy and I hope my friend gets him too. I didnt have to think at all, just enjoy. I was so grateful you could take me at the last minute. My 24 year old daughter wanted to go at her own pace, which meant separate hikes.

For me 5 means just right, nothing where I am worried about my safety and magnificent beauty all around me

Thomas Kramer about Red Rock Treks on 57hours

Great hike that was quiet yet demanding. Our guide picked a less busy trail which led us to the top of the Merry-Go-Round. The views were spectacular!! Red Rock Treks is the only way to go!!

Andy was unbelievable!! He prepared us well for our hike, particularly with safety. He knew the hike well and even brought along his dog. Overall a great experience and we will always use Red Rock Treks!!

Full day private tour with Tracy to Antelope Canyon and Horse Shoe Bend. also took a second private Vortex Energy tour with Tracy. You cannot ask for a better experience than this . Tracy is extremely knowledgeable and friendly and gave us a fun and fact filled adventure . Tracy provided an absolutely private and memorable experience for us . She made us feel right at home and provided all we needed to have a great day including all snacks ,drinks, and lunch. Her vehicle was extremely comfortable and clean and she gave us a safe driving experience. This was a great tour and spending the day with Tracy was great. We highly recommend Tracy and her touring adventures.

Linda Bauer about Red Rock Treks on Facebook

Tracy is so knowledgeable, she makes each event special. My daughter and I have taken the Grand Canyon Stroll, the Vortex tour and a trip to the cliff dwellings, the well and to the ranch. I have taken two other friends to her Grand Canyon Stroll. So worth it! So all in all I have “trekked” with Tracy each of my 3 recent trips to Sedona!
