Red Rock State park was the passport to our Sedona adventure. I didn't realize there was such an…read moreextensive trail system. On my list now is to figure out how to stitch all these trails together and come back and do a mega hike. Please come and create your own adventure.

We took the whole family out to Red Rock State Park, and it ended up being one of the most balanced…read moredays we've had out here. Not overwhelming, not chaotic, just... right. If you've spent time around Sedona, you know how quickly things can feel crowded and overrun. This place is the opposite. It feels more intentional, more preserved. You're still surrounded by those iconic red rock formations, but here they're framed by open meadows, clusters of trees, and the steady presence of Oak Creek winding through the park. We set out as a group, a mix of adults and kids, and found trails that worked for everyone. That's the beauty of this place. You don't have to be chasing a summit to enjoy it. The trails are well-marked, manageable, and still interesting enough to keep you engaged. You're moving through changing terrain the whole time. One minute you're walking through sunlit grass, the next you're tucked into shade near the water, then you turn a corner and the red rock rises up again like it's been waiting for you. The creek pulls you in. There's something about moving water in the desert that makes you slow down without realizing it. We stopped more than once just to sit for a minute, let the kids explore a bit, listen to the sound of it moving over rock. No rush, no pressure to keep pushing forward. Wildlife shows up if you're paying attention. Birds moving through the trees, the occasional lizard darting across the trail, subtle signs that this isn't just a scenic backdrop, it's a living system doing its thing. What stood out most was the pace. This isn't a place that demands anything from you. It lets you take it in at your own speed. Some of us pushed a little farther down the trail, others hung back and soaked it in. Nobody felt like they were missing out. It's also one of those rare parks that feels curated without feeling artificial. You can tell it's cared for. Trails are maintained, signage is clear, and there's a quiet respect for the environment that seems to carry over to the people visiting. By the time we looped back, nobody was checking the time. That's usually a sign you picked the right place. If Sedona at its busiest feels like a spectacle, this feels like a conversation. Same landscape, different tone. And sometimes that's exactly what you want.

We have been to Sedona countless times, but stopped here when bringing out of state friends to…read morevisit. It made for a wonderful photo spot, a great overview of Sedona, and helped us plan our day (and a nice potty break with 6 kids between our families).

Epic train adventure trip!!…read more We had the best time on this ride! Our train assistant, Romn, was very fun, and full of railroad knowledge! We met some great people and had some great cocktails! I think this Verde Canyon Railroad Adventure is one you shouldn't miss if you are in the Clarkdale, Sedona, Cottonwood area to visit!

Booking was easy. Everyone was so friendly there's a cute little store for souvenirs with…read moreappropriately priced items. I purchased a very cute bangle. We also purchased food from the cafe there and ended up going back twice for their fries! They were so tasty!! Now on the train we boarded the Sycamore cart and Shea was amazing she kept the vibe high and energetic. She interacted with everyone and was very personable! The only feedback I'd give is to maybe shorten the train ride. 4 hours is entirely too long to go 40 miles round trip. At some point it becomes boring. Also requesting guests to get there 2 hrs before departure is nuts. If you're staying in Sedona or Cottonwood...DO NOT go that early! I don't think young kids or teenagers would enjoy this as much as seniors but I did enjoy my experience 100% The complimentary charcuterie and champagne was a great value as well!

Hike to seven sacred pools was super easy! It's along the Soldier Pass Trail. Breathtaking views…read morealong the entire trail! I hiked on a Thursday so I had to park at 20 Carruth Drive at Posse Park to catch the FREE shuttle. You can also walk to Soldier Pass Trailhead from the lot. I actually walked back up from the trailhead to the lot after my hike instead of catching the shuttle and it was about an easy 20 minute walk. You also get to see Devil's Kitchen Sinkhole along the way!

I honestly can't believe that I am the first one to leave a review for Blubird Air Tours. Tanner,…read moreour pilot, as well as the owner of the company was phenomenal. From start to finish our experience felt so easy. You can go straight to the website to pick your tour and buy your tickets online. it was great that I could download them straight to my phone and have them ready. The drive to the Sedona airport was also easy and directions well explained. We were told to have a seat and that he would come in and get us as soon as he came in from his previous tour. He introduced himself and explained how the process works start to finish. I have flown many times but commercially in large planes so I was a little afraid/hesitant of what to expect on such a small aircraft. He made me feel at ease, told me that I'd probably feel better sitting in the front. He also had water and checked on me throughout the flight for my comfort level. My husband and I had a wonderful time. The views were amazing. Tanner was so knowledgeable and we really enjoyed every moment. I went from scared to asking myself why I had never done this sooner. If you want to get a different perspective of Sedona, I highly recommend taking this tour and seeing it from above it was beautiful. We did the scenic tour. They also offer a sunset tour and a tour of the peaks. We are already talking about which one we will do next to my fellow yelp readers. I really encourage you to support this local business and Tanner as he grows his business. We were told his father is also a pilot and he's had his license himself since about 2019. He decided to start Bluebird Air a little over a year ago. If you have plans to visit Sedona do yourself a favor and book here. You won't regret it and if you're like me a little scared, he will definitely calm your nerves. I also don't wanna forget to mention that these are private tours so you are not on a plane with people you don't know . The flight was smooth and I loved every moment thank you Tanner.

Another trip up and back on the famous Broken Arrow Trail. This is my 4th time running this trail…read moreand it never disappoints. It's a short trail but a really fun trail. We saw a stock Tacoma and a stick Jeep getting dirty today. Nit recommend but they made it. I was in a Raptor today with 37" tires and I think we bottomed out two or three times. Keep in mind that if your vehicle is stock make sure you have a short wheel base and absolutely must have 4 wheel drive.

Overall a delightful hike-…read more We arrived early, so parking was easy (they had about 14 set spots)- however when leaving we noticed the lot was beyond packed & people were circling for spots (bit of advice) As we walked along the bumpy trails there was an element of rock climbing & inclined spots Also note- watch out for the Pink Jeep Tours; professional intense driving (they look like a great time) but their roads intersect with the trail a fair amount & they drive up certain viewpoint walks- The trail started off well marked, then hit a viewpoint area, and signage dropped off-while we thought we were scrambling up Chicken Point, we discovered we were just scrambling for fun & were able to view the real Chicken Point from the top of our mountain Then we wanted to take Hog Wash trail back-but couldn't find the loop connect at the end of Broken Arrow I still rate the trail very high because our random scrambles were quite challenging & entertaining- it's a great area to explore based on your capability- and offers many varying side paths

Actually just visited this spot yesterday, it was really neat. Definitely a hidden gem in Sedona,…read morecan't wait till that restaurant is built out. We took some great pics, and like they said, you really cant get that particular angle of that mountain peak anywhere. Best of all, there was no charge to visit, shopping center was really enjoyable too, definitely stop in on your next trip to Sedona.
