Delicious beers with gorgeous views! We recommend the front patio at sunset. There's also a recreational dispensary next door.
If you happen to be staying at the room block, ask about the bike rentals available through the Element!
There are so many beautiful hiking spots in Sedona, Bell Rock is only two miles from the wedding venue, and is an easy to moderate hike. There are multiple places to park to hike Bell Rock, Baby Bell, and even Courthouse Rock that makeup the backdrop of the ceremony. Daily, weekly, or even annual Red Rock parking passes can be purchased online at https://www.recreation.gov/sitepass/74387 Check out the full list of Red Rock Trails at https://www.fs.usda.gov/activity/coconino/recreation/hiking
Visit vortexes! Although all of Sedona is considered to be a vortex, there are specific sites where the energy crackles most intensely. The four best known Sedona vortexes are found at Airport Mesa, Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock and Boynton Canyon—each radiating its own particular energy.
Fun little Spanish inspired village with tons of artisans including our florist!
A fun drive to see some of the red rock beauty without the hike!
Driving from Sedona to Flagstaff through Oak Creek Canyon is so beautiful! Stop along the creek to dip your feet in the water or go for a swim. A popular stop is Slide Rock!
If you have never been to the Grand Canyon, it's worth at least a day trip. https://www.mygrandcanyonpark.com/things-to-do/park-itineraries/top-ten/
There are two locations, one near downtown Flagstaff, and one out by the mall (4366 E Huntington Dr, Flagstaff, AZ 86004).
On Sunday, April 17th, Grand Canyon Brewing has an Easter Keg Hunt!
Jim said this was the best pizza he's ever had!
The largest museum of musical instruments in the world!
Short on time? Want to drink local craft beer, eat barbecue AND green chili all in one stop? Hit up this funky little bar we stopped at.
The original Backyard Taco (though there is an equally delicious one at 1633 S Stapley Dr, Mesa, AZ 85204). Known for their grilled meats, but even a simple bean and cheese burrito is amazing loaded up at the salsa bar. Don't forget to ask for grilled onions!
Cornish Pasty has expanded to the point where they even have one on Mass Ave in Boston! Delicious comfort food (but the AZ locations have more options on the menu).
Jim & Em's favorite donut stop! There's BoSa doughnuts all over the valley, and who doesn't love a 24 hour doughnut shop? The buttermilk bar is worth all the calories!
Second location is a beer garden in downtown Phoenix's Roosevelt Row.
