🌵 Sedona Travel Guide | 🔥 Cosmic Energy & Spiritual Oasis

Sedona stands out from Arizona’s desert landscape like an emerald jewel on the map. Famous for its stunning red rock formations and powerful energy vortexes, it’s known as a spiritual wellness paradise. Though it was our first time and we only had one full day for a road trip, we made the most of it—hiking through forests, soaking in panoramic views, and enjoying delicious food. We left already dreaming of our next visit! 📍 We stayed at a cozy Airbnb in Cottonwood, a charming town just 20 minutes from Sedona with plenty of shops and a street full of great eateries. Highly recommended if Sedona is fully booked! Here’s our 2-day/1-night itinerary for inspiration: 🌄 Morning: ⭐️ Subway Cave – A must-visit iconic cave formation ⭐️ Blue McDonald’s – Address: 2380 W US Hwy 89A 💙 🍽️ Lunch: ⭐️ Chocolate Tree – A locals’ favorite organic vegan restaurant with handmade chocolates. The vibe is super zen—don’t miss it! 🌅 Afternoon: ⭐️ Chapel of the Holy Cross (open 10-5pm) – We admired it from afar (too crowded to enter) ⭐️ Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village (artsy plaza, 10-6pm) – Park at Hillside Shopping Center and stroll over 🌇 Sunset: ⭐️ Sedona Airport Scenic Lookout – Perfect for golden hour views 📍 If you have two days, also check out: Devil’s Bridge, Airport Mesa, Cathedral Rock, and more! 🍴 Food Wish List (next time!): ⭐️ Sedonuts Donut & Coffee Shop ⭐️ Cafe Jose Restaurant ⭐️ The Hudson (4.6 ⭐ – American) ⭐️ Outlaw Grille (4.7 ⭐ – BBQ) ⭐️ Elote Cafe (4.7 ⭐ – Mexican) #WeekendGetaway #TravelDiaries #LifeInTheUS #Travel #ScenicJourney #DayTrip #Arizona #Sedona #SedonaTravel #SubwayCave #ChapelOfTheHolyCross 🌄🧡🚙
