Sedona Travel Tips & Suggestions

Comment by Marianna

It's too bad the hostel closed here because it was one of the friendliest I ever stayed in, and the grounds were really beautiful and the locations was convenient. Would someone open up another hostel please? Nobody even knew the last one was there. Even though there's no more hostels, I still keep coming back anyway -- for the land, and I always have that one "profound" meeting. Sedona is a rare, rustic, rose and earthy find -- a most sacred place that will aid in healing your soul. I noticed two definite sort of "types" in Sedona. There seem to be people who groove with the energy here and are cool, smiling, and radiant. Then there's these people who are just here to sneer at people, maybe make a buck, and they don't think there is anything sacred here. Sometimes, you can just feel a sinister vibe from some of them. All that I am saying is that you will find the extremes here. You can spend a lot of money, or just camp in the beautiful red rock if you're low on cash. Find your special "vortex." You'll become a believer. Oh, and there's a lot of talk about spaceship sightings here. Come once and you'll keep coming, or think the whole things an idiotic farce -- so why did you come in the first place?

Sedona has degenerated into a tourist trap and home of the very rich who without any concerns for the santicity of this place have built expensive and locked properties. You just try to meditate or just relax by the Kachina hill or other sacred place and you will be interrupted by jeeps, helicopters and the construction noises for the new subdivisions. I will never return.

Sedona is a really awesome place. The best cliff/trail to visit to really have a great view is the following: * Bell Rock trail..actually located in Oak Creek Village (just south of Sedona). 2-3 miles into the hike, you will have an awesome view of the cliffs looking north towards Sedona. You will feel moved to either pray/meditate or both. * CoffeePot Trail (accessed via CoffeePot Ln) has an awesome view of the cliffs, too as well. Definitely the 2 best trails to access if you are short on time, and also not an expedition level hiker. Anyone of reasonable fitness level can do the two above hikes...definitely makes the trip to Sedona worth it. Also, finish your hiking day with a great meal at the Red Planet Diner, located on w89A...just go left at the "y" (heading north).
