Sedona, Arizona
By: Burt & Dianne Davis / Our Vacation
Looking for a drivable get-a-way? We
visited Sedona, Arizona last month and
recommend it highly. It is less than a five hour
leisurely drive.
We walked, went sight-seeing, hiked, shopped, dined, learned, and
just plain relaxed. And watching the sunset from the Sedona Airport –
a must-do.
We recommend the Visitor’s Center in downtown Sedona as an early
stop. The volunteer staff (mostly amicable seniors) is knowledgeable,
and the hand-outs are helpful. Tell them what you want to do or see,
and they will steer you in the right directions.
We rode the Sedona Trolley from downtown to The Chapel of The
Holy Cross and were impressed with their attention to safe practices on
this enjoyable excursion. Full precautions included wiping down the
trolley between trips, limited seating, masks required, and returning
to the same when re-boarding. The ride included interesting live
narrations of area history and facts. There are two other 55 minute
tours offered.
The red rock formations in and around the city are its primary
attraction. We often enjoyed the tranquility of sitting on our balcony,
breathing the fresh air, and looking at the mountains.
Hiking and walking opportunities abound. We enjoyed a lovely “easy
to moderate” afternoon hike at Soldiers’ Pass which winds through
woods and rocks and includes the Devil’s Hole and the Seven Sacred
Pools rock formations.
Dining spots are abundant. Everything from burgers to gourmet
foods are available.
Most restaurants offer patio dining. Make reservations as the
restaurants practice social distancing.
Don’t forget to include shopping time. Spend time browsing the art
galleries and shops. The main street (State Rt 89 A) is populated by
shops that sell things you don’t need – but want!
Due to the virus, signs demand that you are masked in stores. In
fact, you are supposed to be masked anywhere except when dining, and
more than 90% of the visitors adhere to these restrictions.
Visit Sedona and feel the stress drain away in this picturesque setting.
Thanks to Dianne and Burt Davis who continue to travel the
world and share their adventures with our readers.
