'cmon man that's just a teaser! we want some off-camber and rocky stuff!

Schnebley Hill Road was a great first choice! Can’t wait to receive the R1S and do the same thing on the way to Flagstaff.

It was too much for my wife. Will have to do moderate+ trails with others.

Hi @Elias F. Welcome! If you head up to Sedona again for off-roading can you consider PMing me? My family splits our time between Chandler and Sedona and our house is just around the corner from Broken Arrow. I have a R1S on order (ordered April 2021, eta H1 2023) but I am not sure how brave I will be about off-roading when it finally arrives since we have a Jeep Wrangler in the garage for that purpose! But we would love to follow you in the Jeep and see how the R1T performs if you decide to take to the trails again. We stay away from Schnebley Road since it is no longer maintained, Broken Arrow is better for testing capabilities but v.narrow so you have to be careful about not catching scratches from branches. Congratulations on taking delivery!

Will do.

LOL - same here. Just drove up from Phoenix to Munds Park for Agee’s Barbecue, then took Schnebly Hill Road (Exit 320) to Sedona. Then drove back home. Did the whole round trip on a single charge. What was funny is I think the entire trail used 7mi of charge. Drove in Conserve up and back.

While the photos don’t show it, since the Forest Service stopped maintaining the road, Schnebly Hill Road has deteriorated to the point where it is now a somewhat challenging trip.

Agree. The entrances are nothing - but you get to the primary points and it’s not “easy” but I would classify as “moderate”.

Then again - every Jeep (personal and the Pink Jeep Tours) all made me stop to ask “how do you like it?” “Is that all electric?” “Is that a Rivian”?

funny thing is I maybe used 3-6mi of charge. I didn’t look as we entered on the Munds Park side - but once we got to the ‘no camping beyond here’, I had 106 mi (in off-road mode) and finished the route with 103mi. Switched back to Conserve and drove home (live in Desert Ridge area. Had 32 mi to spare.

Maybe I'll follow and do Schnebley Hill as well. Going to Sedona tomorrow and don't think I'm ready to go on Broken Arrow trails just yet.
