Soldier Pass is the connoisseur's Sedona jeep trail. The Forest Service strictly limits vehicle permits for it — which keeps it quiet — and the route packs two of Sedona's strangest landmarks into a short, rugged run: the Devil's Kitchen, a massive sinkhole that collapsed in the 1880s and is still growing, and the Seven Sacred Pools, a chain of natural rock basins sacred to the Yavapai-Apache.
Run privately, it's just your group, your guide and a trail most Sedona visitors never get on. Rugged in places, rich in story everywhere.
