Broken Arrow / Vultee Arch Sedona Arizona

[cw50must]

I finally got my Icons installed on my truck and I had a friend who was wanting to try out his truck on well. Decided that broken arrow would be fun, scenic, and fairly easy. Since its a short trail that doesn't take long I always like to try to tie in a hike. We chose Vultee Arch for the hike, much less busy than Devil's Bridge, and you get to make the 5 mile drive on FR152 which is no longer maintaned so its somewhat fun now too.


Here is a Go-Pro video of Broken Arrow.

We also hiked to Vultee arch, its a nice arch, but not as big or as popular as Devil's Bridge Arch. Its also a little more out of the way.

Nice trip.

[Sandstone Addiction]

Beautiful pics! :2thumbs:

I need to check this area out sometime, that arch is beautiful.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! I just did Broken Arrow for the 1st time last week. That drive down the steep steps on the way back was exhilarating and fun! Thanks for sharing the trip report. Great eye for photos. Look professional!
