Arizona Day Trip: Magical Sedona in One Day! 🚗🏜️

📍 Stop 1: Montezuma Castle 🏰 A 700-year-old cliffside dwelling built by the Sinagua people (ancestors of Puebloans). "How did they build this?!" 🤯 🔍 Visitor Center: Montezuma Castle National Monument (parking available). 📍 Stop 2: Amitabha Stupa & Peace Park ☸️ One of fewer than 100 stupas in the Western Hemisphere—Sedona has two! 🌿 Serene vibes + mountain views. Perfect for a mindful pause. 📍 Stop 3: The World’s ONLY Blue McDonald’s! 🟢🍟 In 1993, Sedona banned red/yellow signs (to protect the red-rock aesthetic). Result? Turquoise arches! 📸 Must-try: Blue Fanta slushie for the ‘gram! 📍 Stop 4: Chapel of the Holy Cross ⛪ Arizona’s Top 7 Man-Made Wonders—a chapel carved into red rocks! ✨ Pro tip: Sunrise light through the cross = chef’s kiss. 📍 Stop 5: Bell Rock 🔔 Looks like a giant’s petrified back! Easy hike with vortex energy vibes. 🥾 Trailhead: Bell Rock Pathway (park early—spots fill fast!). 🗺️ Road Trip Ready? Drive time: All stops within ~30 mins of each other. Don’t miss: Sedona’s pink-jeep tours (next time!). #TravelUSA #Arizona #Sedona #DayTrip #HiddenGems #RoadTripVibes
