Last week I jammed out to Sedona with Alex Howard and Aaron Dorff from Seaweed Cowboy Productions. The plan was simple: link up with a crew of INEOS Grenadier owners, run some trails, shoot some content, and see what the trucks could really do in the desert.

Matt Franke took the lead and brought us through a lineup of classic Sedona trails. The weather gave us a little extra challenge — light rain, slick red rock, and that sandstone grip that disappears the second moisture hits it. The trucks didn’t care. They did what they’re built for.

We had one tire blowout along the way, but the boys fixed it quick and we kept moving. The scenery was unreal, the energy was high, and the entire trip turned into one of those perfect mixes of hard trails, good people, and an environment that makes you feel tiny in the best way possible.

Sedona delivered. The Grenadier delivered. And the Hard Way Home lived up to its name.
