Schuerman Peak

Schuerman Peak sits at 4,878 feet along Dry Creek Scenic Road, facing 300 degrees with land dropping 592 feet within 600 meters of the overlook. The view spans a cluster of named peaks and features to the north and west: Kushmans Cone at 2.3 miles, The Cockscomb at 2.6 miles, and Doe Mountain at 3.5 miles, all to the north-northwest or west-northwest, along with Windmill Mountain to the west at 3.9 miles and Mescal Mountain to the north at 4.6 miles. Farther out, Bear Mountain reaches 6,279 feet at 5.7 miles north-northwest, while Fay Canyon Arch and the Boynton Canyon Vortex lie at roughly 4.8 miles. To the west-southwest, the Sedona Wetlands Preserve and Two Trees Observing Area sit at lower elevations, 4,029 and 3,902 feet respectively. The facing direction is angled 30 degrees off square toward sunset, making this a west-facing stop through the day. Flagstaff lies 26.7 miles to the north-northeast, with Prescott Valley and Prescott both to the west-southwest at 33.1 and 41.6 miles. The route continues from the 89A Scenic Viewpoint before this stop to the Mt. Scheurmann vista beyond it.
