The town Sedona is touristy and can get overrun with vacationers.
In a nutshell

Spectacular scenary and good people
25 Reviews This Roman Catholic chapel is one of the main tourist attractions in Sedona. It is built right between 2 red rocks on a so-called Vortex spot. The location is unique And though we knew that the chapel is unpretetious and sparsely decorated, we wanted to see it while it is designed by Marguerite...
33 Reviews In the Arizona heat, a rambling, rapid-moving stream is a magical place indeed. Give in to your inner child and wallow in the natural rock slides at this place. There is a small fee to enter the park then you walk towards the stream. It takes about 10-15 minutes of walking to get to the stream which...

6 Reviews This place is a lot of fun! We ordered cactus fries (it comes with a raspberry sauce) and prickly pear margarita. Both we very good. We're foodies and love trying new eating experiences. My husband eat the ribs which he said were very good. I loved the atmosphere and the friendliness of the staff....
8 Reviews This was recommended the last time we were here to try it out. We didn’t, but made sure the next visit we would. We all were very satisfied with the food and service. It is most definitely popular with the locals. It was crowed, but we were seated right away. It has this groovey little gift shop as...
5 Reviews I loved my ride with the Sedona Phoenix Shuttle. Rich was so friendly and a great driver. He introduced everyone to me. Some local and a few like me from out of town. I own a timeshare in South Africa and traded to Los Abrigados resort. The shuttle brought me up in two hrs and the rate was only...
13 Reviews Driving through the town can take a long time for the one+ mile form north to intersection of Hwy 89A and 179 going south. It is a bottleneck, but does have a turnabout to help a bit. Then if you go further west on Hwy 89A, there many lights, people pulling off the road, and pulling on to it. Speed...
10 Reviews These are a series of shops in the more popular area to go and buy. Most shops are upscale, and even more expensive than other stores in town; like in high end big time. However, there are some shops that seemed a bit more reasonable, but you have to look hard. There are 50 stores and restaurants...
12 Reviews Sedona is believed by many to possess almost supernatural powers in the form of the vortexes in the area. A vortex is an energy field which is supposed to enhance psychic ability and promote self-awareness. There are four vortex areas in Sedona- Boynton Canyon, Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock and Airport...
7 Reviews Sedona, AZ is surrounded by beautiful views and mountains. The people living there respect the environment, and have strong opinions about what should and shouldn't be allowed in the area. Sedona time is very slow and easy. The place is cordial, spiritual and healthy. Many of the residents have come...
9 Reviews Make sure that when you take the pink jeep tour, you let them know that you are pregnant so that they can give you a non-rough tour! The Broken Arrow tour is heart-pounding so this is not advisable for pregnant women! The jeep tour descent down the "Road of no Return".
3 Reviews Why not rent a 4WD vehicle? Its not like the drive in a 4WD is any less appealling than with a 2WD. However, a 4WD gives you the option of truly exploring the area, while a 2WD forces you to shell out $60/per person to a jeep tour company to take you off of the beaten path. While in Sedona, the...
5 Reviews You needed a luggage if you spend the night in Sedona. Otherwise, just bring some backpack to carry your bottled water.Your comfy walking attire. Bring comfy attire, comfortable shoes and depending on the weather you are going, bring a jacket even during the spring time because it gets cold at night...
5 Reviews Wear hiking boots or good walking shoes. In your pack, you should carry a first aid kit, a map, flashlight, toilet paper and plastic bag, rescue whistle, compass, pocket knife, extra food. Keep you dogs on leash and clean up after your pet.
7 Reviews Spending half a day in Jerome is essential if you are going to be in the Sedona area. The old mining town is only a 45 minute drive from the red rocks and a fun way to visit some local artisan galleries and shops. The copper mining town was much abandoned since the turn of the 20th century, but in...
31 Reviews We were able to spend 2 or 3 days hiking around in Sedona. The late fall (November) was interesting because there were pools of water everywhere! They offered some great reflections of the red rocks and allowed for not your typical Sedona pictures. Most people visiting go the Bell Rock, which we...
8 Reviews Some tips to know before you venture out onto the trails: Make sure to inquire about trail conditions before you hike. Check with the Coconino National Forest Service rangers at (928) 282-4119 or (928) 203-7500. Wear sturdy, hiking boots with good traction and ankle support. Carry plenty of water no...
1 Review The abundance of high red rock walls, cliffs and spires provide an almost unlimited number of climbing routes for technical rock and free climbers. Since many of these walls are made of sandstone, which can break easily, these routes are not for beginners. But don't worry about being left without an...
11 Reviews The picturesque town of SEDONA lies at the mouth of beautiful Oak Creek Canyon, a breathtaking chasm. Sedona is surrounded by red-rock monoliths named Coffeepot, Cathedral, Bell and even Snoopy, because their massive shapes resemble these distinctive objects. Rising high above Sedona and its...
7 Reviews What was neat about this trip was my oldest wanted to take some of his own photographs and he did a wonderful job of it. I have many different cameras, so I gave him one to use. About the only thing I didn't like is he would get to close to the edge at times. So I had to keep the eye on him. Still,...
