Sedona Vacations & Travel

Overview

Nothing quite prepares vacationers for the extraordinary vistas of red rock country in Sedona, Arizona. Nestled between the Grand Canyon and Flagstaff to the north and Phoenix in the south, Sedona looks like another world. From its vivid red rocks and unique vortex formations to ancient pinion pines and deep blue skies dotted with puffy white clouds, Sedona offers an otherworldly gateway to enchantment.

Spiritual healers, artists, nature photographers, and outdoor enthusiasts all find their way along winding canyon roads to this eclectic community, where cowboys mix with painters, and spiritually minded souls interact with native American healers. From outstanding southwest cuisine to eclectic shops, such as the plazas at Tlaquepaque, meaning the “best of everything,” Sedona shines bright as Arizona’s midday sun.

After a day of shopping and hiking on such naturally sculpted masterpieces as Bell Rock, Cathedral Rock, and Courthouse Butte, vacationers will be ready for a relaxing spa treatment at one of the local resorts, followed by a breathtaking sunset overlooking the entire town of Sedona at Airport Mesa.  

What To Do

Take a jeep tour through rugged red rock country. Shop for art, clothing and southwest souvenirs at Sedona’s Mexican designed Tlaquepaque (pronounced T-la-keh-pah-keh) beneath shady sycamores. Beat the heat with morning hikes through the glorious red rock trails at Bell Rock, Boynton Canyon, Oak Creek Canyon and more. Get high on Sedona in a hot air balloon. Look into your future with a tarot card reading at one of the local New Age shops. Browse myriad art galleries in downtown Sedona and beyond. Explore the rustic countryside along the Verde Valley Wine Trail as you discover Arizona’s historic communities of Cottonwood, Jerome, Clarkdale and more.
