Snoopy Rock is a rock formation outside Sedona that resembles Snoopy lying down from the Peanuts comics. Trails lead up through red rock country with good views along the way.

Give it a solid half day if you want something less crowded than the vortex sites. It suits fit walkers who enjoy moderate climbs on loose rock. People with bad knees or small kids should skip it and head to easier viewpoints instead. The best time is spring or fall when temperatures stay comfortable. Mornings work well to dodge afternoon thunderstorms in summer.

Plan on two hours minimum including time at the top. Most visitors underestimate the steep sections near the end. Pair it with a drive through Oak Creek Canyon the same day.
