An award-winning commitment to nature

We take stewardship of the land very seriously. We work closely with the Bureau of Land Management, Forest Service and park rangers to maintain, rebuild and re-vegetate trails. Our team proudly volunteers for trail clean up and contributes to preservation efforts with collected contributions. These practices have earned us environmental awards like the Keep Sedona Beautiful Award of Excellence and the Governor’s Tourism Award on Arizona Preservation.
