Being a Tourist In: Sedona, Arizona

March 14, 2017

Hi everyone and welcome to my first Arizona travel post.  This year, I spent spring break in Phoenix and the surrounding areas and I can’t wait to tell you all about it!

We flew out to Phoenix on a Sunday afternoon so we were lucky to have the whole week ahead of us!  On Monday, we started out in Sedona, Arizona.  I’d been there before, about ten years ago, so I was super excited for another trip back!  When we got there, we visited a beautiful church that’s built into the side of the red rock and it was incredible.  They actually hold a weekly service there and I was wishing we could’ve gone!  It was a really special experience to be in a place as amazing as that.

After visiting the church, we headed towards Midgley Bridge and walked around on a trail that starts at the top of the bridge.  The views in this area, and in Sedona in general, are breathtaking and this trail was just another example of the incredible scenery Arizona has!

 

Later, we grabbed lunch at a really cute place called 89Agave and walked over to where we were supposed to go for the jeep tour we booked.  We used the company Red Rock Western Jeep Tour and it was great!  The views were awesome and the guide was really knowledgable about the history of the area.  When we got to the top of where we were going, he let us out and we got to walk around on the rocks and look at different views than you would normally see at the bottom.  It was cool to me how one side of the canyon was all red rock and then the other side of the canyon was another, whiter type of rock.

When we got back from the jeep tour, we checked out some of the cute, western shops in the Sedona area.  After picking up a couple souvenirs, we headed home.  I would definitely recommend going to Sedona if you’re in the area, it’s amazing!  Even after visiting two times now, I would go back in a heartbeat.  See you next week with another travel post!
