Prescott
Austin and Logan's favorite place! As many of you know the couple met here during their time at ERAU. Austin and Logan love Prescott's old cowboy history, hiking, biking, off roading trails, Thumb Butte road, Goldwater lake, the great food and antique shops. Prescott has so much to offer for anyone.

Austin took Logan here on their first date 12/02/23! They ate at the Haunted Hamburger on the back patio and enjoyed stunning views of Sedona's Red Rocks at sunset. Jerome is a old mining town that is truly unique !
Grand Canyon Railway & Hotel
An amazing steam engine train ride that departs from Williams AZ ( about an hour drive from Sedona ) and takes you up to see the Grand Canyon! The train ride offers scenic views, western musicians, and cowboy characters.
Grand Canyon
One of Arizona's main attractions! The Grand Canyon offers a wide range of activities. Scenic drives, hikes, rafting, mule rides, scenic flights, museums and so much more. It is only about a two hour drive from Sedona.
Flagstaff
If you take the 89A up through Oak Creek Canyon it is one of the most beautiful drives in the country. You will also get a nice break from the Sedona heat as Flagstaff sits at nearly 7000 feet above sea level. There are many hiking areas and shops to explore.
Salt River Tubing
Austin and Logan's favorite activity to do down in the Phoenix area. From Sedona this is about a 2.5 hour drive. The water in this river is COLD. It is a great way to cool off! There is a company that you can rent tubes from and catch a shuttle ride up the canyon but it is a little pricey. If you get a couple of friends and some Walmart inner tubes there are many parking lots along the river that you could park at. Depending on what lot you park in the float can take 2-4 hours. To avoid the shuttle fee if you go with a group it is easiest to leave one car downstream, all hop in another car and drive to a lot upriver. Then enjoy the float back down to the first car and retrieve the vehicles.
