re: Sedona, AZ, and ideas of things to do there

As others have already mentioned....church in the rock is a must and driving up oak creek canyon from Sedona to Flag is a must. Very scenic drive. At the top is an area with a scenic overlook. Stop there and enjoy the views. If your wife wants some turquoise jewelry she can barter with the Native Americans that set up tables there and sell their stuff. You can find MUCH better prices there than all the ridiculously marked up jewelry you see in the shops.


I go to Sedona a lot, mainly to hike.


Hikes I have done and enjoyed


Boynton Canyon Trail/Boynton Vista trail
Devil's Bridge
Cathedral Rock Trail
Honanki Indian Ruins
Palatki Indian Ruins
Huckaby Trail
Soldier Pass

Here is a great website to find all the info for those hikes

Many of these hikes require you purchase a Red Rocks Pass to park at the trailheads. You can purchase them at most gas stations in Sedona or online or at some of the trailheads(you will need cash for that).


If you have kids...take them to Slide Rock....totally touristy but they will love it.
