Drama and Golden hour glow! And of course, the Jenga rock formations!  All these make the Edge of the World Arizona perfect for camping, stargazing, and scenic drives. The Edge of the World calls the Coconino National Forest its home, and the national forest is further located between Sedona and Flagstaff.  The 55 km round trip is fun, provided you are ready to take the bounce coming from the washboards on the road. Furthermore, every bit of toil on the road is worth it once you enjoy the views from the Mogollon Rim top or inhale the whiff of the Ponderosa Pine.  What’s more? Let’s discuss the Edge of the World Arizona, in detail. We will also talk about the practical tips for a safe outdoor experience. Quick Facts About Edge Of The World Arizona  Distance from Sedona: 28 Miles Distance from Flagstaff: 27-28 Miles Road Type: A combination of gravel, dirt, and washboards Ride Types: High-Clearance 4x4, Dirt Bike, ATV (50"), SxS (60"), and SUV Difficulty: Easy to Moderate Road Condition: Not Maintained After Snow or Rain Best Time of the Day for Visit: Sunrise or Sunset Tools Needed: GPS Coordinates for Viewpoints Route Length: 55 Miles Dog-Friendly: Yes Elevation Change: 3,400’ Drones Allowed: No Edge of the World Arizona Map  1. East Pocket Arizona View this post on Instagram A post shared by ThreeSixZero Photo (@threesixzero_photo) The Edge of the World and the larger area are often referred to as the East Pocket. There is an old watchtower nearby for keeping an eye on the wildfire. This watch tower is called the East Pocket Tower.  2. The Knob The Jenga Rock formations, offset the cliffs, look like knobs, and they seem to be formed with puzzle blocks, which are not in order.  How To Reach The Edge Of The World Arizona  Here are the step-by-step guides for how to reach the Edge of the World Arizona from Flagstaff and Sedona. Flagstaff to Edge of the World Arizona RouteSedona to Edge of the World Arizona Route Journey Time: 1 Hour and 45 Minutes • Take the 89A Highway from the south of Flagstaff.• Drive for around 25 minutes to find the US Forest Service Road 535.• Continue for 19 Miles on Service Road 535. • Then, find the Forest Service Road 9012R and turn right to reach the Knob. Journey Time: Around 1 Hour and 30 Minutes• From the North of Sedona, Take Highway 89A.• Drive till Forest Road 535. You will find the turnoff after driving for around 17 miles north of Sedona.• Drive for 19 miles on Forest Road 535. Then, take the # 9012R.• Drive till the end of the road and turn right to find the Knob. • You will find various switchbacks, and navigating through the rocks and ruts here is really difficult. Also, following the numbered rock signs can be a little difficult.  During December to February, these roads can get blocked with extreme snowfall and ice accumulation. The icy patches remain till the spring months of March and May.  However, the summer months from June to August and the Fall months from September to November are ideal for the drive from Sedona or Flagstaff.  Before you plan a drive to the Edge of the World, Arizona, you can download and use the AZ 511 app and know about the current weather conditions.  What To Expect At The Viewpoint Of The Edge Of The World Arizona?  View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mary Forbes (@sunkissed_mary) With rocky cliffs in the surrounding area, you will also enjoy views of multiple peaks and ridges when driving to the Edge of the World in Arizona.  There are no hiking trails. However, you can climb some rocks and walk in some spots to get wonderful vistas of the canyon and the surrounding area.  Furthermore, to up your adventure level a few notches higher, you can go for a hike to the Courthouse Butte and Cathedral Rock Mountains in Sedona.  Nevertheless, the Lego or Knob Rock formation here is the main attraction. However, taking a photo of the formation is a bit tricky as the formation sits almost at the edge of the cliff.  So, you can climb up the left rock of the twin boulders you will come across before reaching the viewpoint.  Moreover, if you want to just stand below the rock formation, you can jump over a chasm and reach the lower rock in front of it. There is a gap of around 15 feet. So, jump only if you can manage.  Warnings And Things To Keep In Mind At The Edge Of The World Arizona  Keep the map open and follow the blue GPS dot, as network connectivity will be lost once you are on the Service Road 535. Do not follow Google Maps blindly, as in most cases, the road numbers on Google Maps may not match the signs of the Forest Service Roads.  Follow the Leave No Trace policy and follow all the local regulations of the Coconino National Forest. Keep the contact number of the national forest (+1 928-527-3600) handy so that you can contact them in an emergency. You can also contact the forest service at 1-800-832-1355.  Nature And Wildlife At Coconino National Forest Home to the Mormon Lake and Rogers Lake, the national forest is also home to many wildlife animals and birds.  Types of AnimalsExamplesMammals• White-Tailed Deer• Mule Deer• Black Bears• ElkPronghorn• Porcupines• Mountain Lions (Rarely Visible)Birds• Mexican Spotted Owls• Wild Eages• Bald Eagles• OspreysReptiles• Desert Spiny Lizard• Short Hord Lizard Plants At Coconino National Forest I have already mentioned that the Edge of the World in Arizona is filled with the aroma of Ponderosa Pines. I love these pine needles for their vanilla scent. These plants stand as the eternal witness, with an imposing height of up to 8000 feet.  These plants are also crucial for the fire-prone nature of the forest. They can withstand fire attacks thanks to their thick bark and pruning branches.  Other plants and trees found here are Quaking Aspen and Rocky Mountain Junipers.  Overall, the Coconino National Forest houses a combination of diverse ecosystems such as the high-elevation tundra, desert, and ponderosa pine forests. So, you will notice a great variety in the animals and plants living here.  Camping And Overnight Stay At The Edge Of The World Arizona View this post on Instagram A post shared by Andrew Imhoff (@imhoff.imagery) The red rock formations and wonderful vistas make the Edge of the World in Arizona an ideal place for camping. However, the camping conditions here are primitive. Also, you have to be very careful about the fire usage as the forest is prone to catching fire.  Follow these simple tips to avoid fire hazards during the Edge of the World camping in Arizona.  Use dead firewood for lighting up a fire. Do not cut the branches of the standing trees. Use a small stove for cooking according to the rules and regulations of the United States Forest Service (USFS). Listen to the rangers and use lanterns at night. Use fire rings if you are building a fire. Keep a shovel and 6 gallons of water handy. Ensure that the woods you are burning are turned to ash and there are no sparks.  Camping is free of cost at the Coconino National Forest. Also, you do not need a permit for camping here.  What Is The Best Time To Visit The Edge Of The World Arizona?  View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jessica Kesti | 📍Arizona | Hiking + Adventures (@jess.kesti96) The fall season from September to November is the best time to visit the Edge of the World.
