Your first big stop will be at the Tlaquepaque Arts Shopping Village, a cute and quirky destination filled to the brim with boutiques, galleries, and restaurants. Once you’ve had a chance to explore this incredible spot, you’ll continue south to your first hiking trail: Marg’s Draw. This trail boasts more than just some views of the red rocks: it also features plenty of blooming flowers in the spring!
The next stop is Broken Arrow Trail. In addition to leading hikers to commanding views of Sedona, this trail also bears the same name as one of many movies filmed in town! Around here, you’ll learn all about the series of events which led to Sedona being called “Little Hollywood.”
After that is one of the biggest stops on your route: the Chapel of the Holy Cross. This towering structure, inspired by the Empire State Building, is almost too beautiful to be believed. You’ll also find an easy hiking trail here through some of Sedona’s coolest rock formations!
Up next is the trail for Cathedral Rock, probably Sedona’s most famous formation. This awe-inspiring tower of red rock is incredible from the ground, but the views are even better from halfway up!
As you continue south, you’ll hear about Hollywood’s departure and the arrival of tons of artists in the ever-changing town of Sedona. Then, you’ll reach the Courthouse Vista, where you’ll find not only some spectacular views of a red rock formation big enough to rival Cathedral Rock, but also a trail which leads to one of the town’s vortexes sites supposedly charged with spiritual energy, which make for an especially potent meditating experience.
Finally, you’ll arrive in the Village of Oak Creek, full of shops and restaurants that tend to escape the crowds in Sedona proper. Your tour will conclude here, but that’s not where your journey needs to end! Also included with this package is a complimentary bonus tour of West Sedona, which features extra vistas and hiking trails in the red rock region’s more secluded wilderness. This bonus tour also takes you to Red Rock State Park, packed with even more natural beauty for those who simply can’t get enough!
