Sedona | Where the Wind Whispers Through Red Rocks 🌄

We took a last-minute trip to Sedona to breathe deeply and unwind. Lying on the grass at the resort, doing absolutely nothing — the vast red rocks and open sky instantly melted away the stress from two months of non-stop projects in the Bay Area. Pure bliss! 😌💫 🏨 Stay 1 | Enchantment Resorts 📍 Nestled in Boynton Canyon — the views are every bit as epic as you’d expect. Plus, it’s a great starting point for hiking to Subway Cave (shortens the trail significantly!). 🐑 Booked with Amex Platinum: $200 hotel credit ✅ Complimentary room upgrade ✅ 12 PM early check-in & 4 PM late check-out ✅ $100 restaurant credit + $60 breakfast credit ✅ 🎾 Tons of activities: tennis, pickleball, vortex talks, and more (some paid, some free!). 🏨 Stay 2 | Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Bungalows 🐑 Used Hyatt Guest of Honor from a friend: Free room upgrade ✅ No resort or parking fees ✅ 🛀 Loved the bathroom design — showering with the afternoon sun streaming in felt like a rebirth ☀️🚿 📅 5 Days / 4 Nights — Leisurely & Unhurried 1️⃣ ✈️ Phoenix → Sedona Stopped at Arcosanti — a cool architectural community ☕🏛️. Perfect coffee break! Hiked Cathedral Rock for sunset — absolutely magical 🌅🧡 2️⃣ 🏨 Resort Chill Day Checked into Enchantment, then swam, played pickleball, ate, and repeated 🏊‍♀️🍹 3️⃣ 🥾 Hike → Relax → Hike Early morning hike to Subway Cave (most fun trail of the trip!)
