What is there to do in Sedona?

Wedged between the Red Rock and Slide Rock state parks, a trip to Sedona revolves around ogling the red rock formations from afar and up close. On top of hiking to the Airport Mesa, Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, and Boynton Canyon vortexes, some of the best hiking trails in Sedona include:

• Devils Bridge – an easy and heavily trafficked trail to an emblematic arch.
• Chapel of the Holy Cross – a meditative stroll to a 1950s chapel surrounded by red rocks.
• Fay Canyon – a short, easy loop through a shady ravine.
• Soldier’s Pass – a moderate out-and-back past the Seven Sacred Pools and the Devil’s Kitchen.
• Bear Mountain – a tough trail to the summit of one of Sedona’s tallest peaks.

Other things to do in Sedona include:

• Switch things up and explore the trails by mountain bike or horseback. Most of the trails are open to bikers and equestrians and there are tours available.
• Drive out to see the pictographs and petroglyphs in the Palatki Heritage Site, a former cave dwelling complex.
• Sign up for a guided stargazing safari or rendezvous with Sirius at a public spot such as Two Trees or Crescent Moon. It’s even possible to skywatch from the backyard of the best Sedona Airbnbs.
• Get your passport stamped as you see, swirl, sniff, sip, and savor the wines of the Verde Valley Wine Trail.
• Sample award-winning craft beer at the Oak Creek Brewery and Grill.
• Fly above the canyons by hot air balloon at sunset with Red Rock Balloons.
• Browse (and buy) local art at the Village of Oak Creek galleries.
• Open your mind with an aura or tarot reading at the Center For The New Age.
• Drop by a yoga or meditation class at one of the countless West Sedona studios such as Awakenings or Village Yoga in Oak Creek.
• Shop for southwestern decorative arts and handmade ceramics at Tlaquepaque Arts Village.

How far is Sedona from Phoenix?

Sedona is located 116 miles north of Phoenix, Arizona. It takes two hours to drive there directly via Interstate 17. However, it’s worth allowing extra time and stopping off at scenic stops like Lake Pleasant, the experimental city of Arcosanti, and the Montezuma Castle National Monument. Old Town Cottonwood is worth the detour for a bite to eat.

Groome Transportation operates a shuttle service from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) to Sedona and neighboring towns.

Where to stay in Sedona?

Uptown Sedona is the best area to stay in Sedona for amenities, restaurants, and live music joints on your doorstep. This downtown hub is close to the Sedona Heritage Museum, Tlaquepaque Arts Village, and the popular Mormon Canyon, Munds Wagon, and Javelina trails. Uptown can feel busy at times but it’s a logical choice for a weekend or first-time visit and has a jovial nightlife.

Bounded by Thunder Mountain and Airport Mesa, West Sedona is three miles west of Uptown Sedona. This neighborhood has a trendier vibe during the day and a hushed nightlife – think, yoga studios on every corner, artisanal coffee houses, and indie brewpubs with acoustic acts. There are fewer hotels but scores of upmarket Airbnbs perfect for families and couples.

South of the center, Chapel and Oak Creek are where to stay in Sedona for awesome hiking and scenery but fewer entertainment options. These smaller communities are close to the Bell Rock, Courthouse Butte, Cathedral Rock, and Oak Creek Canyon trails. Stay closer to the Village of Oak Creek for a wider selection of conveniences and choose Chapel for a quieter experience closer to Uptown Sedona.
