Can stock BS BL do Sedona Trails? Ex: Soldier Pass and Devils Bridge

[Dude]

i found the route on the map. looks like you had to have gone around a canyon to get to the spot. interesting....what is that canyon is like??? need to do some research
thanks!!

Not sure but I’m looking forward to pics from your Sedona adventure for whatever you choose to do

TrailsOffroad ranks it a moderate 3. Based on their description of the trail and the user reviews of it, I'd try it if I were you. It sounds like there's a gatekeeper obstacle that'll let you know quickly if you're capable or not.

The car will do that easily just clearance, as always seems to be the case, would be an issue in a few spots in that video.

yes, watched the video, some of those steps seems require more clearance than a stock BS BL.

the Dry Creek Trail to Devil's Bridge seems more manageable...will we get over the gate keeper without scrapping??

as they have described, once the wheel goes over the rock and drop down the other side...our 8.8" clearance may have issue. might have to pull a ruler out to measure that rock

found a video done last year in October. that obstacle looks different now.

Its so hard to judge from the photos the clearance in the photo but I agree itd be a concern. You'll be able to get on on the rock on the left side fine but yea, the shelf might scrape. I'd go for it but thats me. I'd have someone outside the car spotting the line on the left. Ideally you'd get both wheels up on the rock on the left and hopefully that'll give you enough clearance. If not you could always find some rocks in the area and put them in front of the step and build a little ramp.

In the last photo, the one where they're going down the shelf, I'd stay hard to the left and you should be fine. The narrow width of the car will help you there.

From what I can see I'd go for it with minimal/small hesitation and just be prepared there may be some scrapping which the car can handle.

that gatekeeper is looking different...the dip before the rocks is deeper (than this photo appeared to be)...I got out of the car to check...let my wife driving the car into the parking lot. we decided to just hike it. I'd say it probably would make it ...with some scraping.

the side by SxS seems to be barely clearing it

but just getting into a parking area for high clearance vehicle had an obstacle...I rush over to take a pic and didn't realized she put the driver side front wheel over a rock...but it had no issue

and yes, the hike is totally worth it..
