Itinerary

  1. Sedona Chamber of Commerce

    Your tour of quirky, drop-dead gorgeous Sedona begins at the town's Visitor Center/Chamber of Commerce. From here, you'll drive south, passing the biggest attractions along the way, from red rock hikes to plentiful shops and galleries. You'll also learn a ton about Sedona's long, unusual history as you drive.

    NOTE: The tour is over 6 miles long, with more than 14 audio stories, and takes about 2-3 hours to complete.

    New, Lifetime access, no expiry. Use it anytime, on any trip, as many times as you want.

  2. Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village

    Passing by

    The Tlaquepaque Arts Shopping Village is one of Sedona's top attractions for good reason. This vibrant plaza is packed with local artists and artisans selling all manner of unique finds. The Village is also home to some top tier restaurants and cafes to fuel up for your journey.

  3. Stop 3

    one hour

    Cathedral Rock Trail is among the most popular hikes in Sedona, and it's easy to see why. Cathedral Rock dominates the horizon and is without a doubt the most iconic formation in Sedona. This steep, 1.2-mile trail leads directly to that formation. Adventurous visitors can even climb up the behemoth for unbeatable views.

  4. Broken Arrow Trail

    Passing by

    This 3-mile trail shares its name with a famous movie filmed in Sedona. After you visit, you'll hear all about the founding of the town and how it went from an unknown, remote outpost to "Little Hollywood," a hotspot for silver screen westerns.

  5. Call Of The Canyon Picnic Site

    Passing by

    Sedona changed forever in 1923, when filmmaker Zane Grey arrived with a film crew and a dream. Here, Zane shot the silent film Call of the Canyon, a western about a soldier returning from war. He wanted creative freedom he couldn’t get in LA, and was captivated by Sedona’s landscape.

  6. Chapel of the Holy Cross

    Passing by

    A must-see attraction. This jaw-dropping chapel looms dramatically over the rocky landscape and offers incredible, panoramic views from within. It was designed to generate the same sense of awe as the Empire State Building, and it absolutely delivers!

  7. Stop 7

    Passing by

    At 4 miles out and back, Marg's Draw Trail is a fantastic mid-level introduction to Sedona's red rock landscape. In the spring, this trail is also surrounded by blooming cactus flowers!

  8. Stop 8

    Passing by

    This spot offers incredible views of Courthouse Butte, one of Sedona's largest and coolest rock formations. For a closer look, you'll also find a 4-mile trail here that loops all the way around the butte. This spot also provides access to the Bell Rock Vortex, one of Sedona's high-energy sites beloved by more spiritual visitors.

  9. Village of Oak Creek

    one hour

    Known to locals as “The Village,” this unincorporated community is another great spot to find shops, restaurants, and more. It even boasts three huge golf courses for those who like to hit the links! Your main tour concludes here, but there's plenty more to do if you choose to embark on the West Sedona bonus tour as well.

  10. Stop 10

    Passing by

    Lover's Knoll definitely earns its name. Countless lucky couples tie the knot right here, with sweeping views of Sedona's red rock landscape beyond.

  11. Stop 11

    5 min

    Here, you'll find gorgeous hiking trails, picnic areas, and more than a few scenic vistas.

  12. Crescent Moon Picnic Site

    Passing by

    Crescent Moon Picnic Site offers spectacular views of Cathedral Rock and this is one of the most photographed views in Sedona! Depending on the season, it's also a great place for a swim.
