🌄 Spiritual Sedona, Arizona 🌟

✨Subway Cave: Round trip: 4.2 miles Park at Boynton Canyon Trailhead (a pass is required – credit cards accepted at the machine). Free street parking is available further up the mountain, but it adds extra walking. Follow Boynton Canyon signs for the first ¾ of the hike. At the final split (see red circle in the last screenshot), turn right. Final ascent: choose between the steep cliff on the right (requires scrambling) or the slightly gentler left path (ends with a narrow cliff section – not recommended for those afraid of heights). Descending can be tricky – proceed with caution. Pro tip: Some nearby hotels/rentals offer shortcut access to the trail! 🏨🥾 ✨Devil’s Bridge: Round trip: 4 miles If you have a high-clearance 4x4 (like a Jeep Wrangler), drive directly to Devil’s Bridge Trailhead. Otherwise, park at the lower lot and walk (expect dust from passing vehicles). Better alternative: park at Mescal Trailhead and follow signs from there. The trail starts flat but ends with a steep climb. Less intimidating than Subway Cave for those with a fear of heights, but still a good workout! 💪 ✨Airport Mesa: Limited parking – head to Sedona Airport Scenic Lookout for a larger lot. Perfect for sunset or stargazing 🌇✨ Walk 0.6 miles from the lookout to Airport Mesa. Rocky but manageable trail with moderate effort required. ✨Tlaquepaque: A charming artsy village – great for shopping, dining, and photos! Parking can be challenging during peak hours. ✨Blue McDonald’s: The blue logo is the main attraction – no special local menu items. Grab a Frozen Fanta Blue Raspberry (available everywhere) and snap a creative photo – try shooting from the passenger seat for a fun twist! 🍟🔵 ✨Chapel of the Holy Cross: Stunning at sunset, but parking fills up quickly. A must-see for architecture and views. ⛪ ✨Other Trails to Explore: Soldier Pass Trail – Moderate – 4.5 miles Cathedral Rock – Moderate – 1.2 miles Bell Rock Trail – Moderate – 0.8 miles ✨Restaurant Picks: Elote Cafe – Delicious Mexican cuisine 🌮 Rene – French dining inside Tlaquepaque 🥖 Mariposa – Breathtaking views 🍽️ Cress on Oak Creek – Magical creek-side brunch 🧺✨ #Sedona #Arizona #Hiking #TravelUSA
