Sedona is a comfortable city, with amazing scenery and tasteful city planning. There are lots of good restaurants, awe-inspiring hikes, and hotels and resorts to relax in.

Local Juicery is a delicious, fresh smoothie place that is perfect after a hike out in the hills of Sedona. There are lots of mystical stores where you can have a tarot reading or have your aura photographed, if you are into that sort of thing. There are some really delicious pizza places and burger spots.
