Sedona · Things to do

The city runs free shuttles from the Posse Grounds and North SR-179 park-and-ride lots to the Cathedral Rock/Little Horse, Soldier Pass and Dry Creek Vista/Mescal trailheads, which is the practical way to reach them because the trailhead lots fill early. Routes and live arrivals are on the TransLoc app.

A church built into the red rock at 780 Chapel Road, open daily 9am to 5pm with last entry at 4.45pm; the gift shop runs 9.30am to 4.30pm and closes at Christmas and Easter. Mass is Wednesday and Friday at 3pm, and an on-demand shuttle now serves the site.

A natural chute in the sandstone bed of Oak Creek north of Sedona, where you can slide down the polished channel. Open 8am–6pm from 3 February to 1 December with last entry at 5pm, and 9am–5pm in deep winter; entry is charged per vehicle at $20 on summer weekdays, $30 summer weekends and holidays, and $10 from November to early February.

A twenty-room Sinagua cliff dwelling set into a limestone cliff at Camp Verde in the Verde Valley, protected as a national monument since 1906. Entry is $10 for adults 16 and over, free below that, and the ticket also covers Tuzigoot National Monument for seven days.

An open-air village of fifty-plus galleries, shops and restaurants at 336 State Route 179, laid out in Spanish-colonial style under old sycamores. Free to wander, currently open 10am to 5pm, with events through the year.
