If you just want to take a hike on your own, Sedona has over 100 hiking trails, ranging from easy, to moderate, to difficult.
Take a drive to one of the many scenic vistas. Enjoy the view while connecting with the energy. Pick up a FREE map of Sedona, with suggested drives, at The U.S.Forest Service Visitor Center in The Village of Oak Creek off Hwy 179A, or The Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center off Hwy 89A in Uptown Sedona.

Spend a day at The Grand Canyon. This is a wondrous, very sacred place with healing energy. Find a spot away from all the tourists and call in the energy of the Ancient Ones. The Grand Canyon is a two hour drive from Sedona Because The Grand Canyon is one of the most visited sites in America and can get very crowded, I suggest you go there mid week.

Note: There was a tragic sweat lodge at Angel Valley in October, which resulted in three deaths. Angel Valley was rented out for this retreat. The owners of Angel Valley are responsible spiritual people, who unfortunately rented their facility to someone they belatedly discovered was of questionable integrity. This is my personal statement and does not necessarily reflect the views of the owners of Angel Valley. Cynthia Tierra

What's the weather like?
Sedona is in the high desert. We get four seasons of weather here. It can get cold in the winter, around or just below freezing, and hot in the summer, over 100 degrees. In December, January and February, you might find snow, but it won't stay for long. In June and July, it can be over 100 before noon and there isn't much shade. In late July and August, the monsoon rains can make the trails muddy and the air humid.
In the winter, bring layers of clothes, so you can adjust to whatever mother nature provides. In the summer, bring your swim suit. Spend the early morning hours hiking and relax by the pool in the afternoon.

Sedona On A Budget
By Cynthia Tierra
Gas prices are on a roller coaster ride, but they seem to be slowly increasing. Everything else also seems to be getting more expensive. If you’re considering taking a trip to Sedona, but are concerned about the costs, there are ways to save money
One of the most expensive items on any trip is lodging. Since you are probably going to be out and about most of the day, your motel room will basically serve as a place to shower, sleep and regroup, so consider staying in an inexpensive motel. The Kokopelli Inn offers a discount to my clients, so you may want to condiser staying there. If you have an R.V. or a tent, paying for a camp site saves money. Camping is available in Sedona at campgrounds operated by The National Forest Service. Visit The Red Rock District Ranger Station web site.www.redrockcountry.org for camping information. During the winter months when it gets cold, near or at freezing at night, camping may not be optimal. Another possibility, Rancho Sedona R.V. Park 1-888-641-4261 is privately owned. Lo Lo Mai Springs (928) 634-4700 also offers tent sites, cabins, and r.v. spaces. A basic cabin at LoLoMai will cost about half the price of a motel room.
If you're considering purchasing a timeshare, timeshare companies offer low cost rooms to potential buyers. Local companies are: Fairfield Resorts (928) 203-9744, Los Abrigados (928) 204-1520, Sedona Pines (928) 292-6640, and Sunterra (928) 204-9481. You will need to set aside a few hours to attend their presentation in exchange for a discount price on a room.
The second most costlyitem on a trip is usually food.If you are into fast food, Sedona has a Subway, Wendys, Taco Bell, McDonalds (complete with teal arches) and a Burger King. Cafe Jose in the Safeway shopping plaza in West Sedona offers inexpensive food for breakfast,lunch or dinner. You can also go to the Deli Department at local grocery stores and get sandwiches to go. If you like healthy organic offerings, go to New Frontiers Natural foods market deli. Getting your food to go is less expensive. If you eat inside, there is a local surcharge. Once you get your food, have a picnic in the Sedona Community Park or at the ramada on Cultural Park Road. The views from both these picnic areas are spectacular.
If you’re looking for a cheap snack, buy a beer at The Oak Creek Brewery and fill up on free popcorn and peanuts.
This is the brewery in West Sedona on Yavapai Drive off Coffee Pot Drive near Bashas, not the upscale tourist oriented one in Tlaquepaque.
For low cost sight seeing, pick up a FREE map from the official Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center in Uptown Sedona. Don't bother going to roadside establishments offering FREE visitor information. These are owned by timeshare companies and are trying to lure in potential customers. While you’re at The official visitor center, buy a $5 a day Red Rock Pass that allows you to park in Forest Service parking areas. Most convenience stores and gas stations also sell passes. Do your own tour to the well known vortexes. Most of them are within a reasonable walk from the parking areas. You’ll find the major vortexes at Bell Rock, Cathedral Rock, Airport Mesa and Boynton Canyon Vista.
There are over 100 hiking trails around Sedona, and taking a hike is totally FREE, other than needing a Red Rock Pass, to park at the trail head.
Even though traveling can be costly, you can save money on a vacation in Sedona. Why miss out on the red rocks and natural beauty? Sedona is unlike any place else on earth. It’s worth the trip.
