This section of Oak Creek is a good option for a short outing in the Sedona area that offers lots of challenge and scenery. The run contains some major rapids, holes, strainers, boulders, and log jams that can present danger, especially during times of high water. There is one bridge that requires portage around if water levels are high and a few other sandbar sections that may also require portaging depending on water levels. The shuttle between the put-in and take-out is short and scouting as much of the run beforehand will be helpful in determining the current difficulty of the run.
