The landscape of Sedona differs from the Sonora deserts and the rest of Southern California. It’s no wonder that some visitors are very impressed with its beauty.
Of course, not everyone wants to go through this or want to. Some are memorable by the breathtaking scenery, scenery and red mountains.
Once the decision to visit is made, you need to start with where you will be staying and make some plans.
Stay
Sedona offers many great places to stay, but nothing is more comfortable than Wild Resort and Spa. Located on the Main Drug (Route 89A of the State), everything visitors would want to see or experience from tourists’ uptown traffic is a short drive away. For this trip, the longest drive was to the famous Chapel of the Holy Cross, a quick and easy ride from Wild. Even the iconic, unique turquoise McDonald’s signature is soon there.
This is Sedona and when guests check in and reach the room they are greeted by a small mesh bag that holds a description of the power of a few inches of quartz crystal and stones inside.
The rooms here are spacious and feature fluffy robes and a balcony where guests can enjoy robes and morning coffee. Ask the room overlooking the maze of the property. Every morning, you can walk the circular path, pondering your destiny and other things in your mind. Additionally, the maze “yard” has gas fire pits surrounded by seats with lights, allowing for a comfortable visit.
Outdoor heated pools and hot tubs are open all year round, even in winter when brave souls may discover that they have a pool for themselves. As the property’s name suggests, Wilde Haven Spa is an upscale, calm retreat. From outdoor soaking tubs to sound baths, facials and massages, this is the perfect place to relieve stress and rediscover yourself.
However, expect to pay the resort’s price.
It should be noted that the spa, which includes an immersion pool, has become accessible during recent modifications.
Also, it’s filling up quickly, so book early.
Wild offers many new age activities that are included in anyone’s itinerary, including yoga in various forms, meditative tea ceremony, watching the sunset, dating at the rooftop bar, and stargazes. Check the lobby schedule for a daily listing. We also want to support helpful staff.
It will remain in property. However, if you want to learn about Vortexes (a much more complicated subject than skeptics and anyone else), you should be aware that the hotel hosts Pete Sanders, an expert on this topic, twice a week. He said that while aspiring people may experience the vortex everywhere, some places encourage it more than others. One such place is Sabino Canyon.
In his 1.5 hour lecture, Sanders discussed how to tap Sedona’s vortex and create a “vortex effect” for himself. According to Sanders, accessing the vortex reduces blood pressure and stress. It all leads to the energy of the Earth.
play
After breakfast at Rascal, Wild’s onsite restaurant, you’ll be driving straight away to the Sedona Activity Centre. Here, tourists can schedule tours day and night, or shop for some fantastic and quirky souvenirs.
Devin Krekelberg is the friendly help behind the counter. He does not mislead visitors and always does his best to save them money. This is his town and he knows it well. His counsel includes visiting the Chapel of the Holy Cross, a Catholic church engraved on the mountainside.
But along the way, we head to the scenic oversight of Sedona Airport, where the spectacular views await visitors. Park and pay $3 to cross the street. Sedona lies in front of you, but that’s not the incredible part. This is where those stunning red mountains come into view. It seems to take your breath away.
Cross the parking lot and arrive at Mesa Grill, a nearby restaurant. There you can watch a small plane take off and land.
After having a snack (or meal), continue to the chapel. As it is on the side of the mountain, tourists park the park below and walk along a rather steep slope. The road is paved and everyone is taking their time, so there’s no need to hurry. Additionally, along the way, pilgrims and tourists can see up close the mountains they admired from oversight.
Once at the top, the chapel may or may not be open. Otherwise, this trip will not be wasted for your vision. If it is open, remember that this is a functioning Roman Catholic Church and that some degree of respect should be shown. The cross rules the small space with a spot on the left just outside the altar railing where visitors are invited to stand. It shows where the permanent footprint is. Once you’re in position, look up. Visitors won’t forget that immediately.
There’s no end to the opportunity to shop in Sedona. Whether it’s uptown Sedona or the interesting village of Tlaquepaque, if you have enough cash in your bank, there’s plenty to see and bring home. Find high-end art, handmade glass pieces and quilts, quilting supplies and other fun things. There are also several shops with kitchenware and tools.
Stop by Uptown, boasting hippie clothing, New Age crystals and accessories, plenty of Western wear and random fudge.
The Sedona Fudge Factory is a place where visitors can see and creates their own fudge with several flavors (try peanut butter fudge). It’s fresh, sweet and very tasty. If you have a familiar taste, it’s the same recipe used on Mackinac Island, Michigan.
This is also a place to seek tips on what’s coming. Of course, some visionaries are Charlatan. Others claim they can really get to the other side. Ask them. Warning Words: Enter these facilities at your own risk.
Plus, don’t overlook your thrift store. There are many great options along the state route 89A.
eat
Start your day with breakfast at Wild Resort’s casual, on property, light, bright restaurant, Rascal Modern Diner and bar.
The menu features regular breakfast items, but shout to the chef the fluffy pancakes that the diners eat. However, just to be safe, the meal comes with real maple syrup. Also available are a variety of egg Benedict varieties, Huevos Lancheros, omelettes, as well as creme brulee, carrot cake, or dark chocolate fruit fondue. Life is short. Start your day with dessert.
The larger the portion is, the later in the morning, so the meal will be able to skip lunch.
If not, the Rascal lunch menu is worth considering. Find burgers such as Japanese beef burgers, fish tacos, and pasta. Once again, yell at the chef, especially the delicious fries. They are nice spicy outside and have a soft texture inside. These fries make your cooking better.
The dinner menu is very similar to the lunch menu, but offers expanded options. Consider trying a blackened salmon or Maryland blue crab cake. If seafood doesn’t appeal, there’s a hearty meal like meatloaf served with mushroom gravy or chicken piccata. Finish with a generous portion of sweet strawberry shortcake.
The entire experience is enhanced by something from a completely stocked bar.
None of the above appeals, but if Happy Hour is relaxing you, fly to the grill on Mesa. Try the “Storidridri” Martina, made with doll pineapple-infused Strichnaya vodka, spiceful rum and vanilla. Perhaps the blackberry jalapeño margarita has more to do with your taste. The menu also features a selection of zero-proof cocktails and of course soda.
Pair drinks with something from the Happy Hour menu, such as chicken quesadillas, guacamole, salsa, pork tacos that pull chips and barbecue. Everything is worth calories.
Mesa Grill also offers breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner menus.
Sometimes, after a long day, all you want is a simple pepperoni pizza (with beet salad and coke). Across the Wild Resort and Spa is what used to be Pizza Hut, but is now called Pisarisa. It’s clear that this is the place locals choose when they crave pizza. This is always a good sign.
Start with a beet and rocket (arugulla) salad with balsamic vinaigrette. Add pizza – Chorizo has both the best chorizo and red, including a selection of white pizzas – and wash it all off with a mug of soda drink with a white foamy head. Finally, let yourself be in after dinner Afegato (vanilla ice cream scoop and coffee). It’s a great dinner.
Sedona has a wide range of Mexican restaurants, so if you’re craving tacos, check out Errincon Restaurant Mexico.
El Rincon serves standard Mexican food, but highlights the spectacular margarita.
Still, El Rincon offers both indoor and outdoor seating, complementing flamenco guitar music from 5:50 to 7:30pm on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays throughout the summer months.
Whatever people are looking for, whether it’s peace, a glimpse into the future, or just to see something beautiful, Sedona nearby is a good choice.
