Hiking in Sedona is, for the most part, for active healthy adults and children. Take a backback with plenty of water and wear a hat suitable for protection from the sun. Sunscreen is also a must. Do not forget the camera; the scenery is absolutely breathtaking!
Make sure to buy a red Rock Pass and get a good map so as not to miss anything. Bell Rock is an easy hike, as are Cathedral Rock and Airport Mesa. Boynton Canyon is a bit longer; these are the four major "vortexes" or "vortices," and it's fun to try to experience vortex energy!
Slide Rock is fun, but it's often very crowded; a fun alternative it the West Fork Hike. Pack a lunch, wear a swim suit under your hiking shorts, and be prepared to ford the creek many times! You can get wet in a few spots, hence the swimsuit.
Jerome is a small town perched precariously on the side of a mountain. It makes for a great side trip from Sedona. A small winery, some nifty reasonably priced eateries, and lots of small shops are easy to walk to, and the view is amazing.
If you're into ruins, it's a must. Stop here on the way to Jerome.
6. Montezuma Castle National Monument
This a good side trip for anyone who likes ruins and history.
Perfect for all ages. Book the car with the complimentary drinks and hors d'oevres: the seats are much more comfortable and you'd end up paying for food and drinks anyway on the crowded less expensive cars.
