Pink Jeep Scenic Rim Tour
The Scenic Rim is the Pink Jeep tour for guests who want red-rock views and stories from a knowledgeable guide without the kidney-jarring slickrock descents of Broken Arrow. Ninety minutes, gentle grades, panoramic stops, and the same trademark pink open-top Wrangler. We send a lot of grandparents on this one.
What you actually do
The Scenic Rim leaves the Uptown depot in the same open-top pink Wrangler, but drives a different direction — west and south along the rim trails on the higher edges of Sedona\'s red-rock amphitheatre. The grades are gentle, the road is graded dirt rather than slickrock, and the panoramic stops are the focus. You get out at two or three viewpoints over the course of the 90 minutes, your guide talks through what you are seeing (Capitol Butte, Coffee Pot, the Mogollon Rim, Bell Rock and Cathedral Rock in the distance), and you come back to the depot.
Who it\'s right for
Travellers with back, neck, or hip issues that would make Broken Arrow uncomfortable. Grandparents on a multi-generational trip who want to be in the family photos at the viewpoints without the jolts. Children under four (Scenic Rim has a lower minimum height). Anyone whose primary goal is the views and the history rather than the off-road thrill. Pregnant guests are typically cleared for Scenic Rim where Broken Arrow is contraindicated — confirm with Pink Jeep when booking.
What to bring
Same as Broken Arrow: sunglasses, secured hat, sunscreen, layer for cool seasons, water. The Wrangler is still open-top so wind matters; bring a light scarf or buff if you are sensitive to wind in the ears. A small backpack is fine.
When to book and which time
Less competitive than Broken Arrow but still book two weeks ahead for peak season weekends. The late-afternoon departure (typically 3:30 or 4:00 PM depending on season) catches golden-hour light on the rim formations and is the most photogenic slot. Morning tours run cooler and clearer but flatter light.

Stay nearby
The Scenic Rim tour pairs well with a relaxed-pace Sedona stay — somewhere with a hot tub and a view, not a basecamp for big hike days. Browse our Sedona vacation rentals to find a quieter property in West Sedona or the Village of Oak Creek.
