Are Sedona's jeep and trolley tours permitted in the Coconino National Forest?
7 of the 8 Sedona jeep and trolley tour operators Cairn lists state a Coconino National Forest permit or USFS licence on their own website; the exact wording each one publishes is in the table below. 1 operator states no permit on their site, which is recorded as exactly that — not stated — rather than assumed either way. Most of Sedona's famous trail country is national forest, where commercial tours run under Forest Service permits; what follows is only what each operator itself states, quoted from its own site. Every figure here was read from the operators' own websites and carries the date it was checked; none of these Sedona listings has been independently verified yet. This answer was last reviewed on August 29, 2026.

What a permit statement is and is not
A statement on an operator's website is that operator's own claim, recorded here with its source and date. This index has not checked any operator's standing with the Forest Service; when a listing is verified with the operator, its permit statement is one of the facts read back to them.
