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!

Santa Fe Travel Agent Expert

Do you know the way to Santa Fe? If not, as your travel agent advisor for Santa Fe, I am about to show you how to get to your next vacation destination. You definitely want to add Santa Fe to your travel bucket list, as it has a unique character and personality. The capital city of New Mexico, Santa Fe is found in the Sangre de Cristo foothills and is known for its Pueblo dwellings and creative works of art. Santa Fe began as a Spanish colony in 1610, long before the founding of the U.S. The city's heart is its traditional plaza which provides a hub for the city's historic district. The center of town leads to adobe and historic landmarks, such as the former Palace of the Governors, which is now the New Mexico History Museum. Once a remote Spanish outpost, Santa Fe is blissfully a one-of-a-kind American city.  The city's small cluster of mud-colored adobes in New Mexico's northern mountains seem to be inspired by dreams, as the city has the largest number of artists and writers in the U.S. For example, one half-mile span of road features over 80 art galleries - a testament to the city's emphasis on individuality. Therefore, you might say the fabric of the city is a by-product of creativity. Many of the buildings, built in the downtown area in the early 1900s, were made to attract tourists. What keeps the city grounded is its location in the mountains - you can see a mountain view, whether you are dining at a resort or in town, or relaxing poolside at your hotel.  Santa Fe also offers activities galore. You can travel out of town and reach a trailhead in only 10 minutes or find a slope to ski in about 30 minutes. Many trip-goers like to roam the ochre-shaded hills of Abiquiu, featured in Santa Fe artist Georgia O'Keeffe's artwork. If you travel east of Santa Fe, you will reach the Pecos Wilderness Area - a place that is home to magnificent summits, such as Truchas Peak. As your travel agent, I would like to introduce you to Santa Fe and its highlights. For example, The Ten Thousand Waves is a Japanese-styled spa  that offers the ultimate mountain resort getaway - a place for pampering and healing. I would also like to suggest the Bandelier National Monument, where you can spend the day, exploring the valley, once hidden, in Frijoles Canyon. Here is where ancestors of the Pueblo tribe built a massive city among cliffside cave dwellings. If you wish to explore the backcountry, I suggest the Valles Caldera National Preserve - a place where you will usually see elk more than hikers. Also, Ghost Ranch is a must-see attraction - the place where artist, Georgia O'Keeffe, stayed, set against beautiful cliffs and dramatic pinnacles. Hike or horseback to Chimney Rock to see what inspired her. I also like to recommend Santuario de Chimayo, a village church located north of Santa Fe. Its ground is known for its powers of healing. Let's talk and discuss your travel plans to Santa Fe now. Call me or email me today and let's design the perfect Santa Fe getaway!
