Parks & Nature

Hike to the top!
The heart of Sedona! Close to the Cathedral Rock vortex. It's on Oak Creek and there are amazing Sycamore trees and trails. Old pioneer ruins and a waterwheel are fun to inspect. You can hike to Buddha Beach and build a cairn. It gets crowded in the summer as there are popular swimming spots nearby. I love to meditate by the creek with the energy of Cathdral Rock and the big trees around.

You can walk to this from my place. It's at the end of Sunset Dr. - on the left by the church on the hill. Sunset Trail goes up a short way to intersect with Airport Loop. AMAZING views of different parts of Sedona. Bonus: Visit a vortex :)

A lovely hike up to Kachina Woman rock where you can find a spot on the red rocks and soak up the energy. The Boyton Canyon trail goes all the way back to the end of the box canyon. You'll have to hike past Enchantment Resort for quite a ways, but it is worth it!

This is an off the beaten path spot that you will enjoy if you like birds and observing nature. These wetlands are actually part of the water treatment plant. There is a bird observation deck and trails that meander around the treatment pools that are surrounded with marsh plants and birds.

Dinner reservations are required at most popular restaurants

Make your reservations early before you come to Sedona or plan to eat at restaurants that do not require reservations… And plan to wait. 
Транспорт

Don’t get stuck in traffic.

Popular times of the year mean waiting in long traffic lines, especially when traveling from the Village of Oak Creek to Sedona. Plan to do that journey early in the morning.

Sedona is a friendly place. Make eye contact. Smile. Relax. 
Корисні фрази

Woo-woo

This is the expression we use in Sedona to describe very new agey people and concepts. Everybody here is a little bit woo woo, but it is certainly a spectrum. It’s good to know where you fall on that spectrum. Get a sense of where any tour guides or practitioners are on the woo woo scale before you agree to subject yourself to their belief system. 
Звичаї та культура

Respect the wildlife. 

We share the desert with many critters, including javelina, coyotes, deer, bobcats, and more. Educate yourself and be respectful of these desert dwellers. They do not want to harm you or to be harmed by you.
