This side includes honeymoons or weekend getaways for two at a world class resort, or a secluded cabin on the banks of crystal clear Oak Creek, with a fireplace and in room hot tub. You'll also discover families camping and fishing along Oak Creek and hikers traversing the hills above the canyon. The slopes above Oak Creek Canyon are covered with wild berry plants that are fed by natural springs. In late summer hikers are rewarded with a treat of plump ripe berries as they navigate the hills.

What's That? are you hearing howls and screams of delight? You must be near Slide Rock State Park.

Although there is a small state park fee, don't miss stopping to enjoy the view. Slide Rock is a natural rock slide carved into the bed of icy Oak Creek Canyon. Kids and adults alike yell with glee, as they sit and slide down the mossy rock to the pool at the bottom. There is no better way to cool off on a hot summer day.

Sedona has yet another side, its a mysterious side that includes New Age & Psychics.

Some people believe several sites around Sedona have a special energy. At the Sedona Vortex, as these sites are known, trees grow in a circular pattern and many people feel that they are experiencing a profound life experience when they visit the Vortex Sites. Is it the Vortex creating this reaction, or the spectacular scenery of the Red Rock Country? Take one of the many Vortex Tours and judge for yourself!

 

Did someone say golf? Sedona enjoys some of the most spectacular courses in the world. Just imagine playing a world class course with breathtaking scenery in every direction! Golf in Sedona can be very expensive. Do yourself a favor and book your Sedona Golf online in advance and get a guaranteed tee time and probably a better price than if you booked it directly from the course.

TIP: Sedona takes on a whole new beauty in the winter. A light dusting of snow on the Red Rocks and Oak Creek Canyon is one of the most magnificent sights you will ever see! In addition, you'll find reduced crowds and better room deals at this time of year.
