I have kicked this topic around a few times here with Flying Mike and others, most recently in December. Here's my view.

I prefer to drive myself. Yes, the Pink Jeep drivers know the area well. But you also give up the comfort of your own vehicle with a/c as well as the right to stop whenever you want for photography, etc.

Last year, while on Schnebbly Hill Road, I passed a number of Pink Jeeps that carried pax some of whom looked like they were holding on for dear life and/or about to lose their lunch.

On my last trip to Sedona, I rented a Hummer H3 from Avis and took it to Broken Arrow. My girlfriend made a very memorable video of us driving.
