Javelina Leap Vineyard, Winery & Bistro

Sedona, Arizona is excruciatingly beautiful, but also quite expensive and, frankly, somewhat overhyped. As a local, I don't want you to leave disappointed. This guide includes my insights on how to do Sedona right. For example, some restaurants are worth the splurge. . .others aren't. Some hikes are overcrowded, but can be timed right and must not be missed. Others should be skipped altogether. Follow my insider tips and tricks to have the best Sedona vacation possible. Although this guide is free, I also offer a 30-minute planning consultation call for the area, which includes exclusive day trip itineraries for Flagstaff, The Grand Canyon, and a day (or two) in downtown Phoenix.

Have you been to Arizona? It's a magical place! This 8-day guide (including travel days) details a route with a quick stop to Grand Canyon NP, hiking, canyons, popular photo spots, Havasu Falls, and a round of golf. Recommended for adults and older kids. The activities listed were done in the month of May.
