Itinerary

1. Flagstaff
Begin your Sedona adventure just south of Flagstaff at I-17 Exit 337, following the signs for AZ-89A South toward Sedona. From here, the drive gradually leaves the Flagstaff area behind and heads through vast ponderosa pine forests toward the dramatic landscapes of Oak Creek Canyon.
Duration: 10 mins
2. Oak Creek Vista Overlook
Enjoy panoramic views across Oak Creek Canyon before beginning the descent toward Sedona. This is an excellent first stop for photos and a chance to appreciate the scale of the canyon from above. A small Native American crafts market may also be available here.
Duration: 10 mins
3. West Fork Oak Creek Trailhead
One of the most scenic hiking areas in Oak Creek Canyon, West Fork follows the creek beneath towering canyon walls and through a lush, tree-lined landscape. The full outing is about 6.5 miles round trip, but you can simply walk a shorter section and turn back whenever you like. Expect several creek crossings along the way.
Duration: 10 mins
4. Slide Rock State Park
One of Oak Creek Canyon's most popular stops, Slide Rock is known for its natural sandstone water slide and swimming area. You can also explore the historic Pendley Homestead, old apple orchard, original buildings, and several short hiking trails.
Duration: 5 mins
5. Oak Creek Visitor Center
This historic area marks the site of Sedona's first Anglo settlement, established by John James Thompson in 1876. Today you can find a historic general store as well as the Oak Creek Visitor Center, with maps, hiking information, restrooms, souvenirs, and Red Rock Pass information.
Duration: 10 mins
6. Grasshopper Point Picnic Area
A favorite local swimming and picnic spot along Oak Creek, Grasshopper Point offers a quieter alternative to Slide Rock. Visitors can wade in the creek, relax beside the water, or watch adventurous swimmers cliff jump into the pools below.
Duration: 10 mins
7. Midgley Bridge
This graceful single-span bridge provides one of the most photogenic stops along Oak Creek Canyon. A short walk from the Huckaby Trailhead leads to an overlook with a great angle of the bridge, while a longer hike descends toward Oak Creek.
Duration: 5 mins
8. Sedona Arts Center
Stop by one of Sedona's long-standing centers for local art. The complex includes galleries, workshops, and classrooms where you can browse ceramics, paintings, sculptures, and other works while experiencing Sedona's creative side.
Duration: 10 mins
9. Uptown is the best part of Sedona to explore on foot, with restaurants, cafés, galleries, souvenir shops, and beautiful views of the surrounding red rocks. Take some time to stroll the main streets, grab a bite to eat, or browse the local stores and galleries.
Duration: 10 mins
10. Sedona Heritage Museum
Discover the stories of Sedona's early homesteaders and ranchers inside the historic Jordan Family Homestead. Exhibits include a stagecoach, an old apple packing shed, local winemaking history, and a historic railroad depot once used during the filming of Angel and the Badman.
Duration: 5 mins
11. Fantastic views across Sedona and the surrounding landscape await you here. A 3.5-mile hike circles the mesa and provides full 360-degree views, but you don't need to complete the whole trail to enjoy the scenery.
Duration: 10 mins
12. Amitabha Stupa and Peace Park
Set beneath Thunder Mountain, this peaceful Tibetan Buddhist site offers a quiet place for reflection among juniper trees and colorful prayer flags. The park includes the 36-foot Amitabha Stupa, the smaller White Tara Stupa, a Buddha statue, and a Native American medicine wheel.
Duration: 10 mins
13. Devil's Bridge is Sedona's largest sandstone arch and one of its most photographed natural landmarks. The roughly 4-mile round-trip hike includes some scrambling and allows adventurous visitors to walk onto the top of the dramatic rock arch.
Duration: 10 mins

This trailhead provides access to one of Sedona's most popular canyon areas. From here, you can choose anything from a short walk to the vortex and Kachina Woman formation to a much longer exploration deep into Boynton Canyon.

Set along Oak Creek, this state park is a peaceful place to enjoy nature and look for wildlife including deer, javelinas, coyotes, birds, and other desert species. The visitor center includes exhibits on local wildlife, ecosystems, geology, and the area's earliest inhabitants.
Duration: 10 mins
17. Crescent Moon Picnic Site
This is one of the classic places to photograph Cathedral Rock, especially when its red spires are reflected in the waters of Oak Creek. The area is also popular for picnicking, swimming, fishing, and relaxing beside the creek.
Duration: 5 mins
18. This short and relatively easy trail leads to excellent views of Cathedral Rock without requiring a long hike. At less than half a mile each way, it is a great option for travelers looking for impressive scenery with a smaller time commitment.
Duration: 10 mins
19. Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village
Explore a beautiful Mexican-inspired village filled with courtyards, fountains, archways, galleries, jewelry shops, restaurants, and a small chapel. Its distinctive architecture and shaded walkways make it a relaxing place to browse, eat, and experience Sedona's artistic character.
Duration: 10 mins
20. Schnebly Hill Road
The first paved mile of Schnebly Hill Road offers a taste of one of Sedona's famous backcountry routes. At the end of the paved section, you can park near the Munds Wagon Trailhead, where even a short walk leads to panoramic red-rock views.
Duration: 10 mins
21. Chapel of the Holy Cross
Built directly into Sedona's red sandstone formations, the Chapel of the Holy Cross is one of the city's most recognizable landmarks. Its striking modern design and dramatic setting make it worthwhile whether you visit the chapel itself or simply admire the structure and surrounding scenery.
Duration: 10 mins
