What are the easiest hikes with no climbing/rock scrambling? Anything with a pretty view, I’ll take any drive up lookout suggestions too. Traveling with someone who recently had hip replacement surgery. Thank you!!

How easy is it to catch an Uber/Lfyt at night? I am having a large group event in May in Sedona and am wondering if guests will be able to successfully book a ride home. The event will end at about 10-11 PM.

My son and I are visiting early June and I’m looking for spots around Sedona for gold panning or gem mining

The Sedona Tourism website has good ideas but I wonder if you have a fave spot.

Wife and I are visiting for a few days at the end of Feb and hoping to ditch the car. Is Sedona good for biking streets, bike lanes, and bike paths as a means to get around the city? Any recommendations for rentals and places to stay? We hope to have a relaxing few days of eating, exploring, getting lost, and maybe mixing in some singletrack.

Hello - we are a young family (husband, wife and 18 month old) who are looking to escape the Midwest temperature in late March.

We would greatly appreciate any recommendations for family friendly activities to do with our daughter and thoughts on the best areas to stay in. We are open to stay at a resort or find a nice BnB.

We don’t travel out of Iowa much, so consider us new to the southwest, albeit very excited to experience it.

Thank you in advance.

Good day all!

Visited Sedona back in December and fell in love with the area. The people seemed friendly(seriously some of the friendliest locals I’ve seen in a tourist destination) and the way of life seemed slow for being such a busy town. Just came here to see what pros and cons there are and if it should be our home for awhile. It is one of a few places my wife and I are thinking of relocating.

We currently live in a ski resort town in Colorado of similar size so am aware of what it’s like living in a heavy tourist area dealing with traffic, rude tourists etc…We have the opportunity to live in a paid off house if we do move so housing/money would not be an issue.

We are 30’s, no kids(yet), love the outdoors, love nature, mountain biking, hiking etc…. Any information to help us consider if this is the right fit would be great.

How is the economy? Jobs? Healthcare? Are summers really brutal? Thanks in advance

Hi all, I'm coming for a visit this coming Wednesday to Friday.

Right now, it looks like rain all 3 days in the forecast. I know we're about a week out, but is 3 days of rain common at this time of year?

I've been to Phoenix a couple of times and I know that even when there is rain in the forecast, it's unlikely to actually get rain.

Thanks :)

Hello! First time to Arizona and cannot wait. I am coming with a retreat group and we will be hiking the following

Subway cave Cathedral rock Devils bridge Bell rock

I am a beginner -ish hiker Anything crazy here? I’m thinking most are beginner friendly except maybe one? Any advice welcome! Can’t wait. Also the weather- it will be the first 2 weeks in April? How’s the temp then? I’m a new Englander sooooo used to all sorts of wild weather

Hello folks, looking for any campsite options near Sedona for a one night stay in April. It seems like Manzanita campground is fully booked and I’m hoping to hear any suggestions (dispersed camping locations, what’s needed for this) you have that I can check out (2 people and we have a sleeper van).

Also, will definitely check out the Vortexes but are there any other sites,trails,restaurants, etc to check out if this will be my one and only time visiting?

We’re visiting Sedona toward the end of February, and are looking for somewhere a little quirky to stay. Little cabins, adobes, even a funky resort or something. Does anyone have any suggestions?

2 adults and a 6 year old making the trek.

Will be in Sedona Saturday, March 1 to Tuesday, March 4. Would love your thoughts and suggestions based on the itinerary I planned out! Is there anything I should know about the trails I picked? We’re new to hiking but have proper boots. Any notes on traffic or restaurants we picked? Is it planned out/grouped together in a way that makes sense? Can we drive back to Phoenix in the morning and catch an afternoon flight the same day or is that asking for trouble? Appreciate your thoughts greatly :) I did search through the subreddit posts and FAQs to help me plan this so I hope you give me grace…never been out West.

I’m visiting next weekend and just found out from fellow Reddit threads that it’s the weekend of a film festival. What, exactly, is it? Is that something I should try to participate in or avoid? I’m taking my boyfriend to Sedona for four days for his birthday. We were going to try to hike, eat, and find some unique things to do.

Any and all recommendations for what to do or avoid are welcome. Thanks pals!

I was on a trip to Sedona and the shuttle buses were playing Disney shuttle soundtrack.

It would be some Jurassic park theme or say “WELCOME TO EPCOT”

Does anyone know why this is?

Did our shuttle buses driver just like to listen to it?

I’m not sure if this allowed. I hiked cathedral rock and recently retrieved the photos on my camera. I got this great shot of someone’s dog. Hope this post finds that person!

With how cold it is 🥶? Haven’t been this month .

As the title states it’s my first time visiting Sedona and was looking to possibly do a little off roading if manageable. I am in a bone stock Ram 2500. Will a truck like this have enough clearance to make it? I’ve read the toughest part is right at the beginning of the trail and am wondering if that is also true. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated!

So I'm here now, and had a good half day just around the resort. Plan to go star gazing now, but it is insanely cold in the mornings.

Is anyone going to a sunrise hike tomorrow? Where are you going? I have gloves and hats and layers but it is 16F. My original plan was to go to Doe Mountain but I am having cold feet now (literally).

That said, this is an insanely beautiful town. I was in awe the whole drive here and as soon as I got off the highway and was met with big red rocks. It was breathtaking.

Cheers!

I’m traveling from NM to visit for a weekend, any recommendations for a liquor store that carries good tequila. Either in Sedona or along with way would be appreciated, thank you!

Hi! Planning a group of 11 of us to visit Sedona in the spring. I'm noticing many restaurants do not make reservations for over 6 people. Are there any decent spots that can accommodate larger groups? Something nicer than a sports bar/grill.

Also... I know nightlife isn't really a thing but wondering if there are any bars worth checking out. Thanks!

Long time reader, first time poster.

I'll be in Sedona 22(3pmish) - 24 next week. I will be doing a few easy/moderate hikes over those days but traveling solo so would be happy to make new friends.

Is it okay if a post a list of the trails I'm interested in?

Also, if anyone has a recommendation for a local cider microbrewery, I'd appreciate it.

Look forward to having a great time in Sedona!

My girlfriend and I are really excited to come out and do some hiking in Sedona in March. She is allergic to gluten and wanted to make sure she there were spots for us to dine out for breakfast and dinner.

Any recommendations for specific gluten free options would be appreciated!

Hello! I am considering moving to Sedona for an internship. Im wondering what the pros and cons are for living here? I understand tourism has impacted housing, and traffic, but the beauty and access to nature are amazing. Housing cost is a concern for me. I hear it’s very hard to find an affordable rental, but Zillow shows some affordable options. Any insight would be greatly appreciate! Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I will be in Sedona a few weeks from now. Heard different opinions on the Pink Jeep tours.

Any easy, independent hikes that will give my family of four (two athletic kids - 6 & 9) a similar experience. Just looking for cool views. Cathedral Rock? Bell rock?

We’re going to be in Sedona last week of Feb with an infant, didn’t realize it coincides with the film festival dates. Trying to decide where to stay and whether it’s best to stay right in town (like Amara) so that we can walk everywhere, or a little further down (Arabella) and be able to drive to town but worried about the traffic. How bad does it get during the film festival and would we be stuck for hours if we have to drive around? (We will have a rental car). Thanks!
