Full Day at Leisure

Tour: Sedona Day Tour (Optional)

A vista of unforgettable sights unfolds before you from the moment you enter Sedona.  Often called “Red Rock Country” Sedona is one of the most spectacular sites in Arizona. Whether you’re into history and archaeology; arts and culture; power shopping; outdoor sports; or the spiritual and metaphysical, imagine doing all this in a backdrop of some of the most spectacular scenery in the world.  The splendour of Sedona begins as you approach along the highway and revel in your first views of the towering red rock mountains that surround this quaint city.  As you draw closer, these natural sculptures circle you, wrapping you in a crimson embrace.  It is this first encounter with the red rocks of Sedona that has enchanted visitors for generations.

Shopping in Sedona is more of a sightseeing adventure than a stop in a mall. Sedona’s shopping districts are nestled among the town’s world-famous red rocks, and Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village is a replica of Guadalajara, a charming town in Mexico.  Teeming with artists and artisans; boutiques, galleries, food emporiums, New Age metaphysical shops, specialty stores, and one-of-a-kind shops; Sedona has so much to discover.

Montezuma’s Castle: Gaze through the windows of the past into one of the best preserved cliff dwellings in North America. This 20 room high-rise apartment, nestled into a towering limestone cliff, tells a 1,000 year-old story of ingenuity and survival in an unforgiving desert landscape.  The group will stop here en route to Sedona; there is a level, paved trail 1/3 of a mile in length.  Wayside exhibits along the self-guiding trail describe the cultural and natural history of the site.  Stop is approximately 30 minutes.
