🇺🇸 Sedona | Feel the Energy Vortex in the Most Beautiful Desert Town

"God created the Grand Canyon, but He lives in Sedona." I first heard of Sedona as one of the world’s most powerful energy vortex sites. As someone who practices meditation, I had to make this pilgrimage! While planning a month-long trip, I debated between Sedona and two national parks—but after consulting friends, we chose to detour back to this "home of the gods" to experience its mystical energy. The town is dotted with vortexes like Airport Mesa, Bell Rock, and Cathedral Rock, where visitors report feeling shifts in their energy. For me? It was undeniably peaceful. 🛏️ Accommodation Hack We stayed an extra night in Page (3-hour drive) due to Sedona/Flagstaff’s pricey hotels. Bonus: The time zone changes mid-route—surreal! 🚶♀️ Hiker’s Paradise (But We Opted for a Day Trip) Wanted to hike Subway Cave (5 hours), but time forced us to skip the "special ops" mission. 🌀 Highlights 1️⃣ Amitabha Stupa & Peace Park Walk clockwise around the stupa 3+ times to pray/wish. Sat quietly on benches, listening to wind chimes—total serenity amid red rocks. 2️⃣ Blue McDonald’s The planet’s only turquoise-arched McDonald’s! 3️⃣ Sedona Airport Scenic Lookout $10 parking, but panoramic town + "fake-mountain" red-rock views. Go at sunrise/sunset—noon is scorching! 4️⃣ Chapel of the Holy Cross Cliffside chapel with valley vistas. Visited on Good Friday (packed but profound). 5️⃣ Bell Rock Trailhead Vortex site! We just snapped photos (no hike), but $5/car entry (free with Nat’l Park pass). 6️⃣ Tlaquepaque Arts Village Cobblestone alleys + live guitar + artisan shops. Splurged on a "charged" crystal bracelet! 💡 Tips Vortex vibe: Try meditating barefoot on red rocks. Timing: Avoid midday heat; mornings/evenings = magic. #Sedona #Arizona #TravelUSA #SpiritualJourney #HiddenGems
