Let's be real! Golfing here will break the bank and your golf ball stash. It is a hard course to play and even harder to get a tee time. But OHHHHH The views! to die for. Maybe just go for lunch and enjoy the drive. Located in West Sedona off Dry Creek Rd.

This is a public course with great views of the Mingus Mountains. A good pic for a cooler day, as it is warmer here than in Sedona. They have a restaurant too.

This winery is a bit hidden away from hustle and bustle. It is a local favorite that many don't share, so I will let you in the secret. Bummer that you can't buy bottles of wine unless you are member, but you are welcome to purchase tastings. You must check the website for days they are open. https://daranch.com/

You haven't been to Sedona until you have visited this beautiful Latin inspired shopping village. Bring your camera and your appetite.

My absolute favorite place to enjoy a Bloody Mary or Maria on a Saturday morning and then enjoying a walk through the flowers in Tlaquepaque. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's small, so 2-3ppl max in your party.

Located just south of Oak Creek Canyon or north of the "Y" where the hgwy 179 and 89A intersect. Parking available at the Hilton Shopping Plaza or behind the shops on the West side off Jordan.

My best tip of the day if you are planning a trip to Oak Creek Canyon, Leave Munds Park early, and enjoy breakfast here! Then catch a hike in Sedona and buy some sandwiches to take with you. WATER, need that too! Brins Mesa, Airport Loop and Sugar Loaf are some favorite hikes.

My secret tip - Go to 7 Canyons and ask to visit this beautiful place. I haven't been in a while, but it is a very special place. Rachel used to own this land and when it was sold, she made sure the public could always access this vortex that sits in the middle of Boynton canyon.

A nice way to spend the afternoon breathing in fresh air and beautiful scenery. This train ride is best in the spring and fall when the landscape is full of color. Not recommended for small children, as it can get boring...But bring your binoculars and camera too. Located in Clarkdale, near Jerome, this location is about one hour from Munds Park. Make a day of it and start in Jerome for breakfast, an old mining town on the cilffs of Mingus Mountain. Have lunch at Clinksdale and then take your train ride. A wonderful day indeed!
