Getting Around Sedona:

Considering the itinerary we’ve planned for you, a car is the best way to get around

Considering the itinerary we’ve planned for you, a car is the best way to get around. There’s a lot to see while visiting in Sedona and having a car will allow you the freedom to explore at your own pace.

Day 1 Devils Bridge to Amitabha Stupa & Peace Park | A Day of Adventure in Sedona

Early Morning Devil’s Bridge Hike:

One of the famous hiking trails in Sedona, Devil’s Bridge Trail, is a must-do! The hike is moderately difficult, but the views at the end are well worth the effort. 

Check out ➡ Devil’s Bridge Hiking Guide

To make the most of the hike, we HIGHLY, I repeat… HIGHLY recommend doing it early in the morning before the trail gets too crowded. Not only will you get the sunrise to yourself, but you’ll also avoid the crowds, and finding a place to park will be much easier. 

So before heading to bed the night before, check out Google to see when sunrise is in Sedona so you can catch this hike at the best time of the day.

One of the easiest ways to access the trail is to park at the Dry Creek Road Trailhead. From here, you can start the hike. The Devil’s Bridge trail is a 4-mile round trip hike, but starting at this trailhead is the shortest distance to the bridge.

As you hike up, you’ll be treated to views of the red rock formations surrounding Sedona. The trail winds through the desert, with juniper trees and yucca plants dotting the landscape.

The highlight of the hike is, of course, Devil’s Bridge. This natural sandstone arch offers incredible views and is a popular spot for all the Instagram shots you see all over social media. 

Once you’ve had your fill of the views and snapped some photos, it’s time to head back down the trail.

As you begin to see the crowds increase as you’re heading down the trail, you’ll be grateful that you had an early morning start. You’re Welcome!

Breakfast At Pump House Station

Is breakfast your favorite meal of the day? Then you’ll definitely want to check out Pump House Station Urban Eatery And Market. This hip little restaurant serves it all, from top-notch eggs benedict and omelets to burritos and fruit and granola.

If you’re looking for a recommendation, I suggest the Smoked Salmon Benedict. Hmmm Hmmm Hmmm

Don’t worry… If you began your hike a bit later than expected. Pump House also serves an incredible lunch too with beautiful outdoor seating.

Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village

After you finish breakfast, it’s time to discover Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village, a charming shopping area located in the heart of Sedona.

With Spanish colonial-style architecture, beautiful courtyards, and handmade arts and crafts, this outdoor mall is a great spot to see the culture of Sedona.

Today, Tlaquepaque is home to over 40 shops and galleries showcasing the work of local and regional artists. Visitors can explore a wide array of art, including pottery, jewelry, paintings, sculptures, and textiles.

The Chapel of the Holy Cross

If visiting churches isn’t your thing, that’s understandable. However, I do recommend at least seeing the Chapel of the Holy Cross during your Sedona vacation. The great thing about this church is you can even see it from the highway on the way to our next adventure!

This church is more than just a religious site – it’s an example of modern architecture (it’s built directly into the red rocks of the area).

Additionally, the chapel is open to people of all faiths giving visitors a chance to experience spiritual renewal while connecting with the natural beauty of Sedona. 

Afternoon Activity- Choose Your Sedona Adventure 

Here are some of the most popular activities in Sedona to consider for this afternoon

A. 🥾Bell Rock Hiking

Yes, I know we already did a hike this morning but the great thing about hiking in Sedona is that the trails are all unique and offer their own stunning views and experiences.

Bell Rock is one such trail that you won’t want to miss. This iconic landmark is named for its distinct bell shape and offers a relatively easy hike that’s perfect for all skill levels.

The trailhead is conveniently located just off Highway 179, about 20 minutes from the center of Sedona.

The trail is well-marked, and you can choose to hike to the base of Bell Rock or continue on to the summit, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding red rock formations.

B. 🚵🏼Mt Biking Templeton Trail

I must admit that I would be stretching the truth if I claimed to prefer hiking over biking. To remain true to our colors we HAVE to include biking on this itinerary.

Sedona has some of the best mountain biking in the country and there’s no better place to indulge than in this riding mecca.

C. 👀Sightseeing Tour

If you’re seeking a stress-free way to explore the sights of Sedona, I highly recommend considering a tour. Opting for a guided tour allows you to sit back, relax, and fully immerse yourself in the beauty and wonder of this captivating destination.

Relax With A Beer At Sedona Beer Company

Our favorite way to end any day of adventure is with a tasty craft beer. Sedona Beer Company has a great selection of beers and a spacious outdoor patio, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a day of hiking, biking or exploring the town.

Dinner Elote Cafe:

If you’re looking for a dining experience that offers up modern Mexican cuisine, be sure to check out Elote Café. This VERY popular restaurant is known for its signature dish, the Elote

What is Elote You May be Wondering🤔?

It’s grilled Mexican street corn served with a tangy sauce made from lime, chile, and cotija cheese. During our time in Baja Mexico, we became pretty addicted to this savory snack .

Other popular menu items include the Cochinita Pibil, a slow-roasted pork dish with pickled red onions and black beans, and the carne asada, a juicy steak served with guacamole and pico de gallo.

In addition to its delicious food, Elote has an extensive selection of tequilas and cocktails, as well as a variety of beers and wines. 

Insider Tip: If your heart is set on eating at Elote be sure to make a reservation. The popular restaurants in Sedona can be quite busy, especially during peak season.

Alternative Dinner Recommendation-Open Range Grill and Tavern

Planning ahead isn’t always my strong suit, and as previously mentioned, getting a reservation at Elote can be challenging.

But don’t worry if you weren’t able to snag a reservation in time, I have a back up plan just for you.

Head over to Open Range Grill and Tavern where the views alone will have you coming back for more.

Choose Your Sunset In Sedona

In my opinion Sedona has some of the best sunsets you’ll ever see. Sedona’s unique red rocks, provide the perfect backdrop for these captivating sunsets. Here are some of the most popular ways to watch the sunset

A. 🕉️Amitabha Stupa & Peace Park

One great way to spend your evening is visiting the Amitabha Stupa & Peace Park. The stupa is a spiritual structure that has been used for centuries as a sacred monument and place of meditation. 

The Amitabha Stupa & Peace Park is a stunning example of a traditional Buddhist stupa, located in Sedona, Arizona.

Visiting the stupa and park can be a peaceful and calming experience. Walking around the park’s trails can help you connect with nature and find inner peace. The park also has a meditation area where visitors can sit and reflect in silence.

In addition to the spiritual aspect, the park also offers stunning views of the surrounding red rocks and valleys. 

B. ⭐️Sedona Star Gazing Tour

To be honest there’s really not a bad place to see the sunset in Sedona but, if you’re wanting to take your sunset experience in Sedona to the next level, I highly recommend considering a Sedona star gazing tour. While the sun bids its farewell and the sky transitions into darkness, Sedona’s clear, unpolluted skies offer an incredible opportunity for stargazing.

Sedona’s unique location within the Coconino National Forest and its designation as an International Dark Sky Community make it an ideal spot for observing the heavens. The absence of light pollution allows for clearer views of distant galaxies, planets, and celestial phenomena.

It’s an awe-inspiring experience that can truly ignite a sense of wonder and connection with the vastness of the universe.

C. 🌅Sunset Airport Mesa and Vortex

Heading to the Airport Mesa for the sunset is a great idea if you’re looking for a memorable experience. This popular viewpoint offers a panoramic view of the surrounding red rock formations, providing the perfect backdrop for a stunning sunset.

What Is a Vortex And What Does A Vortex Do?

Are Vortexes New To You? They definitely were to us; it wasn’t until we Googled them online that we understood what they are all about.

A vortex is a place in nature where the energy is believed to be exceptionally strong and can be felt by some people. The energy is said to flow in a spiral motion, and it is thought to affect those who visit or live in the area.

There are several recognized vortex sites in Sedona, which is known as one of the most powerful spiritual locations in the world. Sedona’s four best-known vortexes are identified as Airport Mesa, Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, and Boynton Canyon.
