About the Scenic Chairlift

Take in the dramatic scenery of northern Arizona from a bird’s eye view from our scenic chairlift. The lift shuttles you up the western side of the San Francisco Peaks and takes you up to 11,500 feet! From here, you can take in views of the red rocks in Sedona, the cinder cone volcanic field, and the Grand Canyon.

The chairlift ride offers great opportunities for photography, observing wildlife, or just enjoying the peaceful ride up and down the San Francisco Peaks. Once you reach the top, a Forest Service interpretive specialist will greet you and answer any questions regarding the biology, geology, and history of the region.
