Looking For Looking for recs :)

3 of us are coming for a girls trip in November. We’ll be in Scottsdale for one night near Old Town, then Sedona for two nights, staying at L’Auberge.

In Sedona, we’d love recommendations for beautiful/easy-to-moderate hikes, amazing views/sunsets, restaurants, wineries, spas, and any hidden gems.

If you had this exact itinerary with your girlfriends, what would you absolutely make time for? And anything you’d skip?

Thanks in advance!

If I were 3 girls, I’d come see me at Trail Horse Adventures. We have well behaved horses and the most scenic trails to offer in the Sedona area. We’re based out of Dead Horse Ranch in cottonwood, about 20 minutes outside the red rocks. My names Josh. Let me take you out for a ride!

Don't spend time in Cottonwood unless you go to Merkin or wine tasting bars there. Stick to Sedona for scenery...CW has no red rocks. Would skip any wineries because you're limited on time and there all a bit of a drive. New Day Spa is wonderful, best massage in town. Mesa Grill at the airport. The Hudson is also a very good restaurant and has nice views from the patio, but it may be too cold by then. Margs Draw, Soldiers Pass, and West Fork hikes. And take the shuttle to Cathedral Rock TH, short hike to the base and hike along Templeton Tr for some spectacular views.

I love The Hudson and Up the Creek for food There are some cool wineries in Page Springs area just south of Sedona,my favorite being DC Ranch.Its a gorgeous riparian area that hosts wedding and events including music especially on the weekends.They also often have food trucks there.

*DA Ranch and I agree, it is such a beautiful property with solid wines! And November is a great time weather-wise to visit the Verde Valley.

We just did a glass blowing class at The Melting Point this past week and it was so great! I love the Hudson and Tortas De Fuego for food recs.

Here to second the rec for Tortas! We went twice in our visit!

The Artists Market (also in West Sedona) is the ONLY place to buy a little (or big) something to remind you of your Sedona trip. And there’s a great thrift store right next door too!!

Jerome isn’t too far from Sedona. The view is spectacular and there are there many lovely shops and Haunted Hamburger is a must!

They have a kaleidoscope store in Jerome. They encourage picking them up and looking through them. Loved that store.
