Things To Do
West Fork Trail
West Fork Trail is one of our favorite trails in Sedona and is touted to be one of the top 10 trails in the United States. It is an easy trail that is approximately 6 miles long, but be sure to wear your tennis shoes because you will have to cross the stream in a number of places. At the end of the trail, you will encounter a pool surrounded by cliffs. If you are willing to wade through the pools and hop some boulders, you can complete the 14 mile long full canyon route. Remember to bring lots of water and sunscreen!
Devil's Bridge Trail
Another one of our all time favorites, Devils Bridge is the largest natural sandstone arch located in the Sedona area of the Coconino National Forest. It is a round-trip hike of just under 2 miles, with a 400 foot climb in elevation. This is a great hike for casual hikers who want to explore the breathtaking scenery without having to stray too far from central Sedona. If you have the nerve, you can walk across the top! Be careful and enjoy!
Pink Jeep Tours
If you want to experience the breathtaking views of Sedona, without all the hiking, look no further than Pink Jeep Tours! Their excursions are known as the premier "must-do" tours in Sedona. Whether you're seeking rugged adventure, Native American history and culture, nature, geology, or panoramic vistas, Pink Jeep Tours has the right tour for you. So, sit back and enjoy the ride!
Tlaquepaque
Tlaquepaque, meaning the "best of everything," has been a Sedona landmark since the 1970's. Its vine covered stucco walls, cobble-stoned walkways, and magnificent arched entryways give you the feeling that Tlaquepaque has been here for centuries. Tasteful galleries and unique shops live in harmony with its lush natural environment. An excellent collection of over 50 galleries and shops bordered by a large number of fantastic restaurants, makes for a wonderful afternoon of shopping and snacking!
Coffee Pot Restaurant
A local favorite and an iconic establishment for both tourists and locals, Coffee Pot Restaurant features a delicious variety of menu items, including: Eggs Benedict, Belgium waffles, Huevos Rancheros, and of course, your choice from 101 omelets. Coffee Pot Restaurant is one of our absolute favorites, be sure to check out the gift shop on your way out!
Gardens Cafe & Market
Gardens Cafe & Market is a historic general store in lower Oak Creek Canyon, just four miles north of Sedona. Built in 1947, today they continue the legacy of Sedona's oldest continually operated general store by serving one of Sedona's best breakfasts! This is a true Sedona staple and serves a great breakfast spread!
Elote Cafe
An award-winning modern Mexican & Southwestern restaurant, Elote Cafe’s authentic cuisine is culled from chef/owner Jeff Smedstad’s 20-plus years of travel across Oaxaca, Veracruz, Puebla and his native Arizona. Overlooking the scenic Red Rocks of Sedona, Elote Cafe proudly features seasonal, locally-grown ingredients, plus a handpicked cocktail menu highlighted by the finest tequilas and mezcal. This is one of our favorite's in Sedona, be sure to try the Mezcal Margarita, Elote appetizer, and book early!
Mariposa Latin Inspired Grill
Mariposa’s stunning architecture and unique menu of South American-inspired cuisine is a true fan favorite! Perched atop a scenic bluff, floor-to-ceiling windows, and an expansive outdoor patio deliver panoramic views of Sedona’s majestic red rocks from every table. At the heart of the restaurant, Chef Lisa Dahl uses a wood-fired grill and wood-burning oven to create handmade empanadas, ceviche, grilled chorizos, fresh fish dishes, mole, and house-made chimichurri sauces inspired by her travels to Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile. We love all of Chef Dahl's restaurants so if Mariposa is booked, check out: Dahl & Di Luca Risorante Italiano, Cucina Rustica, or Pisa Lisa for other delicious eats!
Thai Spices
Thai Spices is one of our all time favorite Thai restaurants! Thai Spices has been serving fresh, mouth-watering, traditional Thai cuisine created by chef Pearl Pardee and her staff for over 25 years! Thai Spices is known for its delicious, healthy cuisine at modest prices and recently won the "Best of the Best" award for the 15th year in a row! It’s where the locals eat! Be sure to try Chef Pardee's specialty: Tom Kah (Coconut Milk Soup)!
Heartline Cafe
For more than 25 years, the Heartline Cafe has been a mainstay in Sedona with its patio dining and wine lists. A rainbow trout comes with a pecan crust while a mustard peppercorn tops the tenderloin. For something a bit more local, try the tequila lime-marinated salmon with ancho chile aioli. Everything at Heartline is delicious, and it is great for lunch or dinner!
