Sedona Red Rock News
Residents west of Sedona have been complaining to local agencies, governments, and state and federal representatives
about the environmental and safety issues associated
with growing motorized recreation in the foothills of the Red Rock-Secret Mountain Wilderness. Officials say
there is little they can do in the short-term to address the problems. A common complaint from agencies is a lack of money and employees to respond. Photo by David Jolkovski/Larson Newspapers

Sedona Red Rock News
Utility Terrain Vehicles aka side-by-sides look like the rebellious cousins of the golf cart family. UTVs are becoming more powerful and easier to drive than older-style ATVs. For an increasing number of Sedona visitors, they are a desirable way to see the red rocks and spend time with family.
But modern UTVs also have the enhanced capacity to drive through untouched areas as well as be louder and faster than other vehicles and those aspects are creating a conflict with other users of the national forest lands west of Sedona.
Arizona Game and Fish officer Lee Luedecker, who has served in the area for 48 years, said “the last 16 months have been the worst that I’ve seen” in terms of off-road driving in the Forest Road 525 corridor.
