Have you ever visited Sedona in the Fall months? It is quite an outstanding time to be there. The weather is crisp and cool and those Fall feel smokey hues create an environment worthy of some you time. Who doesn’t need some healthy introspection amongst the backdrop of the stunning Red Rocks?
Whether you plan to visit for a wellness weekend away or an adventurous stay, Sedona has much to offer both solo and group travelers when pumpkin season beckons. Fly into Phoenix and take a few hours scenic drive and you will find a red rock paradise. Here are some cool recommendations to adventure, daydream, dine, hike, manifest, self-care, spiritualize and stay during your much needed Sedona getaway.
Adventure
There are plenty of hiking trails, wine tours, train rides and walking and biking tours to name a few adventurous activities. We think the self guided EZ bike tour is a fun way to see the natural terrain of the rocks and trails. Sedona is known for stunning views and scenery. And a electric bike tour allows you to avoid missing out on all of the splendor that Red Rock, and the Cathedral trail have to offer.
Daydream
Daydreaming requires some daytime scenery. So if you are looking for a secret picnic locale with some scenic vibrations, check out Crescent Moon Ranch. Situated below the towering beauty of Cathedral Rock, this highly photographed, historic landmark was once a working ranch and famous as a backdrop in several Western movies. There you will find towering trees amongst lush green meadows. And invitation to daydream surrounded by calming sounds of Oak Creek. A place where your senses can bathe in the reflection of the rocks on the water and breathe in the aroma of nature through its tranquil and serene atmosphere.
Dine
Latin Inspired Mariposa is tough to beat with it’s scenic views and flavorful dishes. With inspiration drawn from Chef Lisa Dahl’s interactions with chef’s in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay, Mariposa uses only organic and premium ingredients. Curated dishes are made from the many herbs grown within the courtyard’s own gardens. Go there for the decadent dishes and atmosphere, with glass walls offering stunning views by day and dining while stargazing by night.
Hike
Bell Rock, is known as a vortex meditation site. And this electric path is best for serenity and solving problems from a higher (spiritual) perspective. The beauty of Bell Rock is that you do not need to hike all the way to the top for views, contemplation and inspiration.
Manifest
No place is more femme fierce and manifest friendly than the Cathedral Rock Vortex. Dubbed the most powerful and the most feminine vortex in Sedona, its energy at the top is known to help both the mind and body cleanse, allowing you to go deep for creative energy and openness.
Self-Care
At the Miiamo Spa it is Mii time all the time. With their Spa menu featuring soul expansion and grounding grotto sessions that connect you to your higher self. Inspired by it’s roots, this twenty year wise spa offers rituals that will leave you feeling refreshed and renewed.
Spiritualize
For the night owls, consider stargazing. Check out Beaverhead Flat Scenic Overlook off Route 179. Dry Creek Road is off the beaten path of city lights and perfect to gaze some stars and let those divine thoughts flow.
