Description Suggest change

Queen Vic is an attractive, pointy tower sitting on the ridgeline north of Schnebly Hill Road. This is a wonderful, mostly easy, outing that gets you to a nice summit overlooking Midgley Bridge, Oak Creek Canyon and Sedona.

Getting There Suggest change

The approach is done from a parking spot on the left 1.9 miles up Schnebly Hill Road. There is a picnic table at the right spot. As of Nov 2021,  those 1.9 miles are very rough (impassible to 2wd and maybe to SUVs depending on your skill and risk tolerance). Walking the road is faster than walking the parallel trail.

Hike downhill past the picnic table to a good trail, take the trail left (west) and hike down to a big wash on the right. Hike and scramble up this wash (sometimes in and out of the wash, but basically in) directly up to the ridge above with Queen Victoria and Pointed Dome. Follow your nose up to the ridge and the east side of Queen Vic and access to the routes.
