Special Considerations

Disabled travelers will find user-friendly accommodations along the road. Besides one major hotel/spa, there are 6 hotels/motels, 10 restaurants, 4 fast food restaurants, one theater, and 4 convenience stores; all have paved handicap parking, access, and seating. Oak Creek Factory Outlets also has paved parking and handicap access to all shops. The Bell Rock Pathway Trailheads at MP 307.2 and 309.9 allow wheelchair access to a hard packed trail about 12 ft. wide.

Restrictions

During snow or rain, the road can be slick in spots, but because of a year-round moderate climate, closures are rare or of short duration. Visit Sedona Weather for accurate reports. Some off-road, unpaved roads exist off the SR 179 corridor. The use of 4-wheel drive is advised in those areas.

Seasons

Best Time to Drive

The crisp, sunny air of fall is the best time to view the giant red rocks, clear blue skies and golden cottonwoods. It is also a favored season for hiking, biking, and golf.

High Season

The busiest time for the byway is during the holidays and most long weekends.
