A mere two hours from the sprawling metropolis of Phoenix sits Sedona and its stunning, mystical landscape of red rocks. With cooler temps and spectacular views, it’s an obvious favorite for Valley residents, but they’re not the only ones flocking to see the famous rock formations or dabble in Sedona’s New Age experiences.
Visitors often travel to Sedona, Arizona, for the chance to get away from it all—reconnecting with themselves, nature, or both. It can sometimes seem difficult to revel in the solitude and take in the natural beauty given the millions of tourists that descend on this town of a mere 10,000. Frankly, traffic is often heavy, parking sometimes impossible, and clusters of crowds at Slide Rock State Park frustrating, but none of that takes away from the sheer natural beauty that has blessed this part of Arizona. Sedona is all about healing the mind, body, and spirit, achieved through outdoor exploration, uplifting vortex experiences, and luxurious stays at one of the many resorts in the area. With spa programs that tap into Sedona’s unique energy, cuisine featuring local Arizona ingredients, and sumptuous places to lay your head, the best hotels in Sedona are well worth the visit.
