Things To Do
Sedona Outdoors (Outlooks, Hiking, and More)
Throughout Sedona you will find great outlooks, hiking trails, and more. If you're into aliens and/or aligning your inner chi, check out the vortexes.
Uptown Sedona ("Old Town")
Uptown Sedona is the more touristy strip of Sedona where you can buy souvenirs, grab a margarita, learn about crystals and alien sightings, and more. If you're looking for one of the best restaurants around, try to book a reservation at "Elote" near uptown. Reservations are often booked 2-3 months in advance.
Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village
As stated on their website, "Authentically fashioned after a traditional Mexican village, Tlaquepaque, meaning the 'best of everything,' has been a Sedona landmark since the 1970s. Its 'vine-covered' stucco walls, cobble-stoned walkways, and magnificent arched entryways give you the feeling that Tlaquepaque has been here for centuries."
The Grand Canyon
It takes about 2-2.5 hours to drive from Sedona to the Grand Canyon. Be prepared that the beginning of the drive has some winding roads between the cliffs of Sedona (experienced drivers recommended). The rest of the trip is quite flat and on major highways. Also, you will want to aim for the South Rim, as the North Rim is a much longer drive.
Pink Jeep Tours
If you're looking to do the touristy Sedona thing, this is it. The pink jeeps are hard to miss in Sedona (think Duck Boats in Boston).
Amara Spa
For anyone looking to relax in Sedona, Amara has one of the more well-known spas. There are other spas and relaxation spaces throughout the town.
