My Phab Favorites of Sedona, Arizona 

 

1.

Verde Canyon Railroad

The Verde Canyon RailRoad was my favorite excursion of the trip!

It felt so classy to be greeted with Charcuterie & Champagne upon boarding!
 


You can hang out in the warm and cozy seating of the inside train car or head outside to the open-air viewing train car with enthusiastic tour guides.
I found that the outside train cars are perfect for photo-taking
 

High Dessert VistaTaken from outdoor train car on the Verde Canyon Railroad.

Our fantastic tour guide, Eve, was so knowledgeable and always gave a heads-up to be camera-ready as the train approached the picturesque vistas.
 

Grab a glass of your favorite wine from the bar and head outside. The views from the train are gorgeous. 

 Book Ahead of time if you can. They usually sell out; we waited till the week off and, with some luck, snagged the last three tickets.
 

After the Train Ride for the perfect late lunch on the way back to Sedona, swing by the Village Of Oak Creek for a cocktail and bite from 
Butterfly Burger

Pro-Tip

There is an excellent loop trail with a small free parking lot ( if you see an open spot, it's your lucky day. Make sure you stop!) You will pass this on the way up to the parking lot you have to pay for. 

I hope you enjoy Sedona as much as I did; it was a magical place and a must-visit!

 

We stayed at the beautiful Sky Rock Sedona

 this Marriott property was beautiful and clean. They offered various complimentary guest activities throughout the day at their onsite tranquility room. I enjoyed multiple classes during my stay, from morning meditations to sound healing sessions at sunset. If you stay here, catch one of the moon rise ceremonies with gong banging and complimentary agave. 


Last Pro Tip, if you are flying out of phoenix and have the time for lunch, dinner, late night tacos your trip will not be complete without a trip to Taco Chelo,

I loved their SMALL QUESADILLA's some of the best late night tacos of my life! 10/10 would go back to phoenix just to visit them again!
