DAY 3<br />

Wake up early on your last day in<br />

Sedona ready for adventure.<br />

Surrounded by 1.8 million acres of<br />

national forest <strong>and</strong> bracketed by two<br />

state parks, Sedona is a mecca for<br />

outdoor activities.<br />

Start the morning with a round<br />

of golf at one of the seven beautifully<br />

manicured local golf courses.<br />

Whatever your skill level, you’ll be<br />

amazed how the ball flies at this<br />

higher elevation.<br />

Round out your visit by taking in<br />

the majestic scenery via mountain bike<br />

or Jeep tour, making your way<br />

through the rugged outback to fully<br />

take in the wonders of Sedona’s<br />

magnificent natural surroundings. TL<br />

WHEN TO VISIT:<br />

During October, Sedona attracts artists <strong>and</strong><br />

collectors, both local <strong>and</strong> from afar, with the<br />

Sedona Arts Festival <strong>and</strong> the Sedona Plein Air<br />

Festival, the latter of which coincides with the<br />

Arts & Crafts Fair at the Sedona Heritage<br />

Museum, which is brimming with local offerings<br />

<strong>and</strong> perfect for souvenir shopping.<br />

PACK RIGHT:<br />

Because of its desert locale, evenings can<br />

be chilly, oftentimes 20 to 30 degrees cooler than<br />

daytime temperatures—even during the summer.<br />

So, check the weather <strong>and</strong> pack layers accordingly.<br />

BRING IT HOME:<br />

Be sure to bring home at least one bottle of<br />

Verde Valley wine; they’re hard to come by out of<br />

state. Page Springs Cellars <strong>and</strong> Burning Trees<br />

Cellars have both been awarded 90-point ratings by<br />

Wine Spectator.<br />
