What should first time visitors to Sedona AZ do?|164713

We are new to the Phoenix area and want to go to Sedona- we are outdoor people :) - BUT my husband just had surgery on his arm and is limited on the physical activities. We also have a dog that would enjoy the ride. Any suggestions?

Take a ride up Oak Creek Canyon Rd (89A) To flagstaff. If you want to hike with the dog if you don_t mind him on a leash go to Red Rock State Park. That will be on 89A heading to Cottonwood from Sedona. If you want the dog to run any of the forest roads would be nice.

Now for you and your Husband
I_d take a Jeep Ride
then If you like to look at beautiful Scenery go to Clarkdale its just outside of Cottonwood and take the Verde Train Ride. In my book it is way better then the Grand Canyon.

Then in Cottonwood off of Main Street on 10th Street is the BlazinM Ranch. They have a great dinner show that isn_t to expensive.

You can get info about the train ride and the blazinM when your in Sedona at any of the tourist booths.

Anyone that I know coming to my neck of the wood those are the places that I recommend

Oak Creek Canyon is very scenic and has many of the unique red rock formations, like Coffee Pot Rock, and many scenic drives and lookouts. They have some short hiking trails, too. There_s plenty of birdwatching to do at Oak Creek Canyon. More Sedona things to do: You can go on a vortex tour. Vortexes are enhanced energy locations, and they are fun and interesting places to visit. There are many such sites in Sedona. There are many places to shop in Sedona, such as Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Center, as well as many small shops. They are into crystals and Indian artwork and jewelry in Sedona. There are also some good trolley and jeep tours in Sedona. I recommend Pink Jeep Tours if you want a good, informative, and fun jeep tour.

Also, there are plenty of good massage therapists in Sedona. The massages are very relaxing. They are great for sore feet, too.

Basically just drive. We drove thru Sedona taking pictures from the car or pull offs and then headed up to Flagstaff for dinner and then back to Phoenix.

You guys could hike, but your husband doesn_t seem up to it. There are also the little shops, those are always fun :)
