If you want to travel to a beautiful and idyllic place in Arizona - one that is peaceful and tranquil, I highly recommend a trip to Sedona. As a travel agent specialist for Sedona, I can arrange a getaway that will fit your unique tastes and personality. Sedona is considered one of the most beautiful places in the U.S. and for good reason. The desert Arizona town, close to Flagstaff, is brimming with red-rock cliffs, steep and impressive canyon walls, and pine forests.  Noted for its colorful arts community and mild climate, the town of Sedona features spas, unique shops, and a variety of art galleries. Trailheads abound on the outskirts and lead to places, such as Red Rock State Park - an oasis for picnicking, bird watching, and hiking. When you see Sedona's towering red rocks next to a cerulean backdrop, you know yor are in desert heaven. Films that have featured Sedona's magnificent rock formations include Midnight Run and Broken Arrow.  However, as your travel agent specialist, I can tell you that there is more than red rocks and blue skies in Sedona. You can also savor spa treatments - some with a local twist, such as blue corn scrubs for the body and red clay facial wraps. Enjoy a glass of local wine to or explore the surrounding wilderness by jeep. You can also hike to your heart's content, as Sedona features over 100 hiking paths. Therefore, make sure you bring a broad spectrum sunscreen and some sturdy hiking boots. Resorts I often recommend include the Enchantment Resort and the Amara Resort and Spa - places that allow you to invest in yourself. While you can see Sedona just about anytime, the best time to pay a visit is from the months of March to May. During that period, the temperatures are warm but not sweltering. Plus the area is filled with blooms and birdsong. You might also consider visiting from September to November, when biking and jeep tours are popular activities. Spring and fall feature temperatures that range from the mid-60s to 80s. However, because these times are more temperate, room rates are higher as well.  Regardless of when you go though, I can help you find accommodations that will meet your tastes and budget. Why not contact me today and let's start planning your Sedona getaway!
