    I visited Sedona on a whim while driving across the country for a vlog and I couldn't have made a better decision. Sedona is more magical than Disneyland. The natural beauty of the town(day & night) can't be matched.

    As a resident I look for the intersection of quality and value, otherwise I'd go broke eating out. If I have visitors from out of town I go for the best patio view dining: Mariposa, runners up The Hudson, Open Range Grill, Sound Bites Grill (warning during summer monsoon season a late patio lunch might get rained/blown out). For just eating out to get a good meal; best breakfast: Red Rock Cafe; best lunch: Pagos lunch specials < $10; best dinner: Golden Goose; best happy hour: Cucina Rustica. That is just my top choices, in my opinion Trip Advisor's top restaurant lists for Sedona are pretty accurate.

      @jamesthomas4080 Před 3 lety

      @@MusicLuv80 Flagstaff is in a forest and gets significant amounts of snow which can last all winter due to its high elevation. Sedona looks like this video and rarely gets a significant amount of snow other than during a big storm zero to two times a year which then melts away within a week.

    I live in Cottonwood, about ten miles south of Sedona. Visit Old Town Cottonwood for better eats. Colt Grill has amazing BBQ all day, Crema or Red Rooster for breakfast, and Nick's, The Tavern, or Bocce's for dinner. There's also wine tasting and little boutiques. Merkins and AZ Stronghold are my favorite wineries. There's Jali Trail in Old Town as well, which is a nice little nature hike down to the river.

      I lived in Cottonwood for a while back in the 80s and recently drove through there. It has changed so much and Old Town is now such an amazing area. It used to be so run down and ignored, but wow, what a transformation! Should have known that would be the area that would thrive too, it always had so many nice old shade trees.

      Had a planned and unplanned stop in '16. The first place had a large courtyard that lead to the rooms. My wife loved it. I did too. Then, after our visit to the Canyon, we stopped back on the way to Phoenix. This time the place to check into the room was a bar. This was fine with us. I took photos of the old gas station while my wife shopped. We both loved Cottonwood.

    I live in Phoenix and absolutely love it here. I moved to Arizona from New York in 2003. So happy I did. Sedona is absolutely stunning. A quaint little city in the middle of a beautiful desert landscape of red rocks and little shops. I've been all over the state and Sedona and Flagstaff are my favorite places to visit. In the winter the snow capped mountains are beautiful. So yes, visit Sedona. You will not be sorry.

When hiking in Sedona and all its beautiful sights, take lots of water. Don't hike without it. A Jeep tour is worth the experience as is a helicopter ride.

      I also moved here from Atlanta several years ago. I'll be moving back to Georgia next week. My partner and I have lived here for 2, very long and transformative-to-the-core years. If you are feeling the call like I did to this magickal land as I did, then just know to prepare yourself for a very self-intensive process of culling away at your ego and all that is not you. The energy of this land will beckon you to go deeper into yourself like you have never done so before. It will be intensely stressful. You will grow through enormous adversity. You will have moments of relief followed by seasons of emotional torrents to rage on through your souls dark nights. You will discover your truth... and you will lose all identity of who you think you are now. You will be made anew... at a price of ultimate suffering of the human condition. Make no mistake, it is a most advanced Spiritual boot-camp! You will be tested in every way humanly possibly. If self-realization/soul-awakening is what you're after, then please, step forward into that brave new dawn of yours. And if your heart is truly calling you here, then there is much for you to remember and much to learn. Thank you, kindred soul family for being willing to be so strong and have such a daringly beautiful journey of the most human experience. Come now. Be.

They sell gelato here, and some other fantastic Italian deserts as well. Romantic, casual vibe, but also fun for families.
