Why Choose Trail Lovers?

With countless tour options available throughout Sedona, choosing the right guide can make the difference between a good vacation and an unforgettable one. While many companies offer sightseeing experiences, Trail Lovers was built around a simple philosophy: every guest deserves a personalized, comfortable, and authentic adventure designed specifically for them.

For more than 13 years, Trail Lovers has helped visitors experience the very best of Sedona through award-winning scenic driving tours, hiking adventures, mountain biking excursions, and custom outdoor experiences. As a locally owned and operated company, we know the landscape, trails, hidden viewpoints, and seasonal conditions better than anyone. The result is a tour experience that consistently earns some of the highest ratings in Sedona and keeps guests returning year after year.

Unlike many tour operators that combine multiple parties into large group experiences, every Trail Lovers tour is completely private. That means your adventure is designed exclusively around your interests, pace, fitness level, photography goals, and travel preferences. Whether you're traveling as a couple, family, corporate group, or group of friends, you'll never be asked to share your experience with strangers.

This allows for:

• More flexibility
• More personalized interpretation
• Better photography opportunities
• Custom pacing
• Greater comfort
• A more intimate experience

Simply put, your vacation shouldn't feel like someone else's tour.

Many scenic tour companies in Sedona utilize open-air jeeps or partially enclosed vans.

While these vehicles may seem adventurous, they often leave guests exposed to:

• Extreme summer heat
• Winter cold
• Wind
• Dust
• Rain
• Snow
• Smoke
• Poor air quality

Trail Lovers takes a different approach. Our scenic driving tours utilize comfortable, temperature-controlled vehicles that allow guests to enjoy Sedona's extraordinary scenery without battling the elements. You'll stay cool during the summer, warm during the winter, and protected when conditions change unexpectedly.

The result is a far more enjoyable sightseeing experience that allows you to focus on the scenery instead of the weather.

Most tour companies expect guests to arrive fully prepared. Trail Lovers helps ensure you're ready for whatever the day brings. Depending on the tour and conditions, guests will receive access to complimentary gear including:

• Daypacks (adults & kids sizes)
• Trekking poles
• Water
• Electrolyte drinks
• UPF sun-protection hoodies
• Rain ponchos
• Rain jackets
• Shoe covers
• Microspikes
• Beanies

• Gloves
• Sunscreen
