The highlight of our time in Sedona and Red Rock Country was the Pink Jeep Tour!
We did the Broken Arrow trail.

Hold on!
Posing with Trusty Jeep #70. Jeep #76 (the one we started out on) proved to not be so trusty. It broke down (the Control Arm snapped) half way through our adventure and we had to be rescued by this jeep 😜
The views from the various stops we made were spectacular!
There are several trail options for both hiking and off-roading. We did the Broken Arrow trail, one of the most popular.
My daughter, Riley.
She's so excited and she just can't hide it!
This place has been on my radar for years. So glad I finally made it!
Doing my favorite thing with my favorite people.
Dreamy.....
First breakfast in Sedona..... Sedonuts! Don't mind if I do..... 😋
We explored other dining options as well, including eating Rattlesnake at the Cowboy Club.
We also explored the downtown area quite a bit shopping, eating, etc..... Howdy partner! 🤠
We stayed at the Sedona Summit Resort and enjoyed this infinity hot tub with a killer view!
We also explored the surrounding area including the Chapel of the Holy Cross, which is absolutely worth seeing! It was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright's protege and is really quite something!
The view from the inside with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the red rocks. Communing with God and nature at the same time.
Just 6 miles outside of Sedona, but still within "Red Rock County" is Slide Rock State Park, which is another "must do" if you're in the area. The water is absolutely freezing, but there is an 80-foot natural waterslide, cliff jumping, pavilions, fields, etc. It's clean and fun and the backdrop to all these activities can't be beat!
Verdict: YES! I absolutely loved everything about this place! There was so much to do and see in Sedona and in the surrounding area (the Grand Canyon is just 2.5 hours away, which we also did). It's gorgeous and offers the adventure-seeker countless activities as well as the relaxation-seeker an equal number of opportunities to just mediate and soak in the unmatched beauty of the area.
Cost: Hotels are expensive and can easily run ~$400/night. We were lucky and were able to use my in-law's time share points. Food downtown Sedona was expensive as well. The best deal in town was the breakfast at the Courtyard Marriott. It was $4.50 for kids and ~$10 for adults and the food was FANTASTIC. We loved it so much, we went to eat there twice within 3 days. The Jeep Tour is expensive as well. Cost varies depending on which tour you choose. The Broken Arrow experience that we chose was $129/adult and $116 for kids. But it was worth it! Highly recommend! My best recommendation for this area is to save your money and go - but you don't need to stay long. Experience it for 2-3 days and then move on to a lower cost place. But don't miss it!
