Highly highly highly recommend getting in a hike if you can while you're here. It's the BEST way to see the red rocks and truly experience Sedona. Go early around 7 AM to see the sunrise on the red rocks and beat the crowds. You should be done with any hike typically right around lunch time! Let us know if you want more info and tips on the hikes. Jared and Chan have done Soldier's Pass and Boynton Canyon trails, each offering different cool landmarks like the 7 pools and the famous Subway Cave. Other popular options are Devil's Bridge and Cathedral Rock.
Our absolute favorite restaurant in Sedona, hands down. Go around 5 or 5:30 (set a 6:45-7 PM reservation and book about a month in advance) and sit on their patio with a cocktail to watch the sunset! Chan loves their Ginger Margarita and you MUST get their empanadas!!
Top 3 fav lunch spot!!! It is built like a tree house, ask to sit outside!! Chan's favorite to get is their Peach & Pancetta pizza, just trust me. Jared likes _____ You don't necessarily need reservations here.
Also a top lunch or dinner option! I'm sure if you Googled where to eat, this and a few others were the top results and for a good reason.
Jared and Chan went here to celebrate their engagement. It's a great French restaurant located in the charming Tlaquepaque! We still dream about their French Onion soup.
Not necessarily a dinner option, but INCREDIBLE for a pre-dinner app or cocktail! Get there around 5 or earlier. It's a Marriot hotel that truly has probably the best view in all of Sedona. They host a Moon Ceremony every night to say goodbye to the sun, and hello to the moon positioned perfectly above the Snoopy rock. We make it an effort to come here every trip!
Great casual restaurant, with you guessed it, amazing views! Good sports-bar vibe with surprisingly great food.
Perfect lunch spot to people watch right in the heart of the little town!
If you have some time to kill, highly recommend visiting the Chapel, especially on your way in to Sedona! The views are breathtaking, and if you look hard enough, you can play eye-spy and try to spot an eagle carved in the mountain once you're up there!
If you want to explore Sedona, but don't necessarily want to go on a traditional hike, the Pink Jeep Tours are a MUST! Such a great way to actually see the Red Rocks without breaking a sweat (or an ankle!)
Such a cute shopping area that has local art, and modern day boutiques and restaurants!
