You can also tour locally, by helicopter or plane, during any daylight time. The golden evening hours are vibrantly spectacular. And a Grand Canyon round trip is an awesome possible addition.
Horseback and Winery Tours can also be arranged. Or you might enjoy a real cowboy style ranch experience, complete with sunset views and a campfire cookout at dusk. Most Sedona AZ tours are available singularly, or in combination.
You can even make something up… invent your own kind of personalized things to do in Sedona tours… all available at your request.

SEDONA CAMPING: Nestled into towering Red Rock canyon walls, and situated right on the green banks of Oak Creek, camping in Sedona is a nature lover's dream come true.

The Hyatt at Pinon Pointe (360 degrees of panorama)
Alma de Sedona Inn (especially at sunset)
Enchantment Resort (Set in 1500 feet of red rock in Boynton Canyon)
SWIM AND SLIDE: The funnest way to get wet? Slide Rock! Visit this state park location for hours of thrills or relaxation. This is a great family spot. You can hike along the creek, picnic, swim and play in the water.
And SLIDE! along a natural chute-like groove that has a super slippery bottom. Arrive early during summer, or you might not find parking. Entry $8 - 10 / auto; $2 / bike.
