If the scenery looks familiar in picture perfect Sedona, it's probably because you've seen it on the silver screen. With spindly towers, grand buttes and flat-topped mesas, it?s easy to understand why Hollywood found these splendid crimson sandstone formations so enticing.
A funky, vibrant town filled with college kids attending Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff boasts cool mountain air, ponderosa pines and even a mountain to ski. Microbreweries, interesting hotels and hip restaurants are housed in historic brick buildings lining the pleasant streets.
Monument Valley
Visit Monument Valley by air and Jeep. Fly from Phoenix over Verde Valley and its Indian cliff dwellings. Glide over Sedona and the Red Rocks. Then land and tackle Monument Valley in a Jeep.
Arizona Tours & Activities
New Age notions and outdoor adventure
Though Sedona was founded in the 19th century, the discovery of energy 'vortexes' here in the 1980s turned this once modest settlement into a bustling New Age destination. You?ll find all sorts of alternative medicine practices in town, along with art galleries, gourmet restaurants and more than one top-end resort.
In Flagstaff, there are plenty of outdoorsy adventures to keep you busy - hiking and biking trails are abundant. Less than a two-hour drive from the Grand Canyon, Flagstaff makes a great regional base.
Grand Canyon: West Rim Adventure
A helicopter flight down to the Grand Canyon floor, a walk to the river's edge, a smooth-water boat ride on the Colorado River, a scenic flight back to Phoenix. It doesn't get any better than this.
