How bumpy are Sedona jeep tours — and which ones are gentle?
The Scenic Sedona: Chapel Bells from Pink Adventure Tours ($82 USD per adult, 2 hours). The Scenic Sedona: State Park Loop from Pink Adventure Tours ($82 USD per adult, 2 hours). The gentlest options in the index are the tours whose own operator describes them as all-paved road tours — shown below — and the trolley tours, which never leave pavement at all. Everything else is genuinely off-road: the operators' own sites use language from mild-to-wild difficulty levels to extremely rugged trail options, and several print health advisories on their booking pages that this index has not compiled. If a back, neck or pregnancy is in the picture, read the operator's own fine print and call before booking; the numbers are on every record here. 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.

The tours, side by side
| Tour | Operator | Price (USD) | Duration |

| Scenic Sedona: Chapel Bells | Pink Adventure Tours | $82 USD per adult | 2 hours |
| Scenic Sedona: State Park Loop | Pink Adventure Tours | $82 USD per adult | 2 hours |
What the records can honestly say about roughness
This index records what operators publish, and difficulty is something they describe in their own words: one jeep company sells trails in mild-to-wild difficulty levels, the Hummer operator ranges from mild to extremely rugged options, and the Broken Arrow operator distinguishes its paved scenic drives from its off-road trail tours. None of that is a medical rating, and Cairn does not invent one. The dependable rule from the operators' own copy: pavement is gentle, named trails are not.
The trolley escape hatch
Both trolley companies in the index run narrated pavement loops boarding in Uptown — the standing recommendation travellers give each other for anyone who cannot take jostling. Their pages carry routes, prices and dates.
