Sedona, Arizona is a treasure of red rock pinnacles, unbelievable magnificent scenery, home of many artists and art galleries, fine restaurants, resorts. bed and breakfasts and many activities for all ages to enjoy.
Highlights for our numerous trips to Sedona have been spending a day in an area south of Sedona. Visiting Tuzigoot National Monument, Montezuma Castle National Monument and Jerome State Historical Park makes for a great day-trip.
Plan to spend at least 4 hours in the mountain town of Jerome. In 1876 prospectors staked claims on the rich copper deposits in this mountain. Over the years numerous owners purchased and developed the mine. The mine completely shut down in 1953. Today this mountain town is home to artists, archeologists and many retirees. Numerous art galleries, gift shops and quaint restaurants make for a great day-trip.
Take a trip onboard the Verde Canyon Railroad in Clarksdale, about 30 minutes from Sedona. This is a 4-hour scenic trip in "first-class" passenger coaches with viewing cars for photo shoots. As the train travels over many bridges, one can see wildlife, eagles and scenery that is spectacular! With purchase of a train ride ticket, food and beverages are included. Plan ahead as tickets for this experience sell out rapidly.
Back in the city of Sedona there are endless activities to choose from: hiking (bring your camera), guided wine tours, jeep tours, golf, tennis, camping and so much more. A visit to the spectaclar Chapel of the Holy Cross is a must!
