I visited Sedona on a whim while driving across the country for a vlog and I couldn't have made a better decision. Sedona is more magical than Disneyland. The natural beauty of the town(day & night) can't be matched.
I live in Phoenix and absolutely love it here. I moved to Arizona from New York in 2003. So happy I did. Sedona is absolutely stunning. A quaint little city in the middle of a beautiful desert landscape of red rocks and little shops. I've been all over the state and Sedona and Flagstaff are my favorite places to visit. In the winter the snow capped mountains are beautiful. So yes, visit Sedona. You will not be sorry.
I also moved from N.Y to Phoenix back in 2005. I frequent Sedona alot, especially when i have out of town guests. I also like the flagstaff snow topped mountains.
The person who is reading this comment i wish you great success health love and happiness i am from morocco have a good life for everyone here God bless United States of America ❤☺💟
Brother, i'm from morocco too, casablanca. United state lover is here. Wish one day could make the rest of my life there. My allah bless you all. Have q great life journey
As a resident I look for the intersection of quality and value, otherwise I'd go broke eating out. If I have visitors from out of town I go for the best patio view dining: Mariposa, runners up The Hudson, Open Range Grill, Sound Bites Grill (warning during summer monsoon season a late patio lunch might get rained/blown out). For just eating out to get a good meal; best breakfast: Red Rock Cafe; best lunch: Pagos lunch specials < $10; best dinner: Golden Goose; best happy hour: Cucina Rustica. That is just my top choices, in my opinion Trip Advisor's top restaurant lists for Sedona are pretty accurate.
@@Tina.n.Rigden Sure no problem. I just had lunch at Golden Goose yesterday and I realize that I should have mentioned they are a really great option for breakfast and lunch too. It is my favorite restaurant overall.
I was so happy to find Josh’s on Sedona, but your comments are great! I’ll definitely go some of the places you recommended. I’m in this beautiful Sedona area.
@@MusicLuv80 Flagstaff is in a forest and gets significant amounts of snow which can last all winter due to its high elevation. Sedona looks like this video and rarely gets a significant amount of snow other than during a big storm zero to two times a year which then melts away within a week.
I moved to CA in the 90s and very few people I talked to had heard of Sedona then. That changed after social media though and now just about everyone here knows about it and it's considered a very cool destination for a vacation.
One of my favorite places in the world! My wife and I try to go once a month in the Summer to escape the heat(relatively speaking) from Phoenix. When hiking in Sedona and all its beautiful sights, take lots of water. Don't hike without it. A Jeep tour is worth the experience as is a helicopter ride.
I also moved here from Atlanta several years ago. I'll be moving back to Georgia next week. My partner and I have lived here for 2, very long and transformative-to-the-core years. If you are feeling the call like I did to this magickal land as I did, then just know to prepare yourself for a very self-intensive process of culling away at your ego and all that is not you. The energy of this land will beckon you to go deeper into yourself like you have never done so before. It will be intensely stressful. You will grow through enormous adversity. You will have moments of relief followed by seasons of emotional torrents to rage on through your souls dark nights. You will discover your truth... and you will lose all identity of who you think you are now. You will be made anew... at a price of ultimate suffering of the human condition. Make no mistake, it is a most advanced Spiritual boot-camp! You will be tested in every way humanly possibly. If self-realization/soul-awakening is what you're after, then please, step forward into that brave new dawn of yours. And if your heart is truly calling you here, then there is much for you to remember and much to learn. Thank you, kindred soul family for being willing to be so strong and have such a daringly beautiful journey of the most human experience. Come now. Be.

Was just here last month and I loved it there! I did not want to leave. I hiked the four main Vortexes. Bell rock, Cathedral, Airport Mesa, and Boynton Canyon. The overall energy of Sedona as a whole is amazing.
I was just in Sedona yesterday for the first time. Now I'm stuck back in the Mid-West with snow and I miss it already. Not even 24 hours after leaving Sedona I'm online watching more videos of it. The most beautiful scenery I've ever seen.
@@DiogenesNephew I missed out on the airport overlook. I wished I would have gone there. There are plenty of views off the main roads. Pay for a parking pass if you want to stay more than a minute.
Man I have to tell you, I planned my entire 5 day trip with your video and it was an absolutely amazing trip. Only thing I would add is taking the ATV tour and hitting the ruin trail along with the Devils bridge trail. It was incredible!! Thanks
You didn't even mention the jaw-dropping views when driving down into the gorge from Flag Staff. I could barely contain myself and keep my eyes on the road to negotiate all the turns!
Excellent tour video of Sedona! You kept every review, reference and comment short, sweet and to the point. Which means you were able cover a lot! Very informative without 'wandering chatter.' As a tourist doing my "homework" before taking my trip, your video was both entertaining and very helpful! Thanks
Thanks so much for all of the recommendations in this video. I know it was posted a few years ago, but I used it to plan a trip to Sedona last week. The Chai Spot and Wildflower Bread Company were wonderful. We stopped by Slide Rock State Park and hiked Cathedral Rock, Airport Mesa, and more. We stopped by Montezuma Castle National Monument on our way up from Phoenix. Really enjoyed our time!
Sedona is one of my favorite places to go in Arizona! If you prefer not to hike, you just might find some really beautiful, exquisite shops! Thank you so much for posting this! It truly is an amazingly spiritual place!
For omelet lovers, the Coffee Pot restaurant has over 100 varieties to choose from. It's an area institution and has an old-timey feel that the newer places lack.
I love the Mesa Grill up on the airport mesa. Great food and spectacular views as a lot of the restaurant has large windows instead of closed in walls.
Hola desde Texas, USA✌❤ In 2005 I was living in Tempe, AZ. I went to Sedona to attend a Spanish AA convention or gathering. I went to the Catholic Church and it was beautiful. I would like to go back and visit the energy vortexes. I hope you get to visit one day. ANIMO👍
My favorite eatery in Sedona is Cowboy Club steakhouse. You gonna love that place on the main road (St Rt 89A). It was recommended by the driver of Road Runner trolley on our first time to Sedona.
Creekside Bistro in Sedona is a favorite! Right in the middle of the arts area of Sedona, across from Tlaquepaque, this place is a gem! Chef driven menu and excellent service.
I've been there multiple times with my wife. Beautiful place to visit. And if you're a mountain biker like myself, one of the coolest places to ride. Miles and miles of technical riding. Amazing place.
Josh, thank you for all of your videos !!! I cannot tell you how many memories we’ve shared because of your recommendations. #1) point MUGU hike..... I would never have done this hike without you. We spent a month in La Jolla and truly made memories to last a lifetime and we enjoyed it so much we decided to spend a month in Ventura for a month... and now Sedona ...!! I’m so excited...!!!
Arizona and Utah are so beautiful. and most british go to florida or california for holiday. They have no idea what they're missing. Can't wait to go to sedona next month, thanks for the video
My wife and I just spent our honeymoon in Sedona and you definitely hit a lot of the best spots! Cathedral rock and devils bridge were fun hikes! We tried the Mesa Grill at the airport which was actually really good! Can't wait for our next trip back!!! Such a beautiful place!
I live in Cottonwood, about ten miles south of Sedona. Visit Old Town Cottonwood for better eats. Colt Grill has amazing BBQ all day, Crema or Red Rooster for breakfast, and Nick's, The Tavern, or Bocce's for dinner. There's also wine tasting and little boutiques. Merkins and AZ Stronghold are my favorite wineries. There's Jali Trail in Old Town as well, which is a nice little nature hike down to the river.
I lived in Cottonwood for a while back in the 80s and recently drove through there. It has changed so much and Old Town is now such an amazing area. It used to be so run down and ignored, but wow, what a transformation! Should have known that would be the area that would thrive too, it always had so many nice old shade trees.
Had a planned and unplanned stop in '16. The first place had a large courtyard that lead to the rooms. My wife loved it. I did too. Then, after our visit to the Canyon, we stopped back on the way to Phoenix. This time the place to check into the room was a bar. This was fine with us. I took photos of the old gas station while my wife shopped. We both loved Cottonwood.
Recently returned from our Sedona/Grand Canyon trip, Sedona is beautiful with the Red Rock beauties and the amazing hikes. I consider myself fairly fit for my age and I hiked all over Sedona with my 21 year old daughter. After hiking the first day with my SLIPPERY NIKES, I went out and purchased Altra gym shoes with the rubber sole, it made all the difference gripping the rock without slipping. We did Doe Mountain which was lovely. We also did the devils bridge hike which I found a little more challenging because of the long walk to even get to the uphill climb. I would definitely recommend going to the Church and also Antelope Canyon was worth it. The Grand Canyon was nice to see once. We also went to slide rock and I have mixed feelings about it, it was a beautiful creek BUT very very slippery almost everywhere you walk, I kept thinking that someone was going to fall and hurt themselves, many people had the water shoes on which helped a little but not much. I couldn't enjoy myself there because it was so dangerous, so keep that in mind if you want to visit. My family and I found the food in Sedona to be below average, we did go to Hideaway House and Picazzos, but I can't recommend, and Javelina Cantina forget about it, 2 dirty glasses! Enough said.
Best burger -- Dellepiane. Best breakfast -- Red Rock Cafe. Lunch -- Hudson, Cowboy Grill, Open Range, Hideaway House, Mesa Grill ( at the airport). Dinner -- Mariposa, Elote, Paggo's, Pisa Lisa, J Wine Bistro.
Absolutely loved Sedona.. stayed at The Cozy Cactus. The Bell Rock right outside the rooms. It was a BB the ppl were nice and the food was great..2005 From Boynton Beach and hiked the BOYNTON Canyon. I was out west for one week. Hiked the whole time.. beautiful. Everyone should go at least once in their life.
I was in Sedona in May many years ago, loved it, high energy place to be, see all the vortexes, wondaful place to hike, as no humidity. The huge rocks do radiate a lot of heat, so I would avoid summers there. If you are from Phoenix area, then it may not be that bad in the summer for you, it's all relative to what you are used to.
We have been traveling to Sedona for over 30 years and you certainly left off some great eating places, this is just a few. Coffee Pot for breakfast, Pagos in Village of Oak Creek for great pizza and Italian dishes, Dahl and Deluca for a great dinner experience. And now that Village of Oak Creek is putting in a new hotel, upscaling the outlet shops and Lisa Dahl opening 2 new read there, it will put it on the map again.
Devils bridge is amazing. The Jeep trails are so much fun. We loved renting a Jeep from Barlow’s, made the sights really accessible and squeezed so much activity into a short time. Yeah it’s pricey it’s a tourist trap but jeez avoid the city and go out where all the good stuff is, you know the red rocks?!
Hey Josh! This is an awesome video! As an AZ native, visiting Sedona is my favorite thing to do here! I LOVE The Chai Spot & I’ve always wanted to go hiking there so your recommendations helped a lot!
The views from the airport were wonderful. Had no idea it was there. We visited Sedona a couple of years ago. Now we have to go back! Those views were stunning!!
My wife and I went there last week. This video was the inspiration for the visit. Beautiful town. It was actually more populous than we thought it would be. I would recommend stopping by Slide Rock State Park; it's 7 miles north of Sedona.
Those rock cliff dwellings of the Hopi natives looked a lot like one of the places we visited when we took the Pink Jeep Tour. Also, Jerome and The Grand Canyon are both close enough to visit and return to Sedona on the same day. There is so much to see and do there.
Super helpful! I am planning a trip for me and my 8 year old to Sedona later this year. Your video was wonderful. I’ll definitely research many of these suggestions!!!
New Subscriber! Love this video! Found your channel watching the Oregon waterfalls video! Your style is great, well narrated, and well edited! Continued success, Campsite Videos!
🤚🏼👊🏼😃❤️ Awesome recommendations. I love Sedona. I hope to move there soon. When I just want to chill I like hanging out by the pool at Hotel Amara. Sending you big smiles, good vibes, and high fives. Namaste 🙏🏼☮️
Going this weekend! 2nd time there. some on this list were already on my list. I will try some of his suggestions let you know on Tuesday on my return. if you have never been, you should. Sedona is unbelievably beautiful.
Great video! I had the chance to visit Sedona a year ago and loved it. Such a unique destination to visit. I went out to Scottsdale this past year for the first time and really loved it. Arizona really is a great place to explore. Thanks for the great video, and see you in our travels.
Cathedral Rock is an AWESOME hike! We just hiked Devil's Bridge last weekend as well! AWESOME!!!!!!! Your reflections of Sedona are SPOT ON!!!! Nice post!
Wow! Impressive and magestic landmark. After watching this video Sedona is now on the top a my bucket list of must do trips. Thank you so much. Would you be my guide?
For sure dude. Let's do this. When are you coming to Sedona? If you have a drone we can take some amazing pics... if not I do and you can leave with the best memories ever!

SO, funny story, that is. W Disney grew up on Thunder Mountain.
I agree Sedona is amazing
Hi! All of us at The Chai Spot send you a big thank you for including The Chai Spot in your video!!!
I just added the Chai Spot on my “must visit” list & I will be in Sedona this spring! I LOVE CHAI!😋
Too bad its not dog friendly!((((
Please be dog friendly!
Coming to visit soon! Sounds delicious!
Heading there soon thanks to this video!
It is beautiful , as all of az is.. seriously all of az is beautiful . never take the same road twice.your soul needs to venture
Should I go here or strawberry 🍓 this weekend or Montezuma 🏰?

I'm from California im going to make AZ my second home you local zonies 😅😂
All of Arizona above Phoenix is beautiful. You cant say with a straight face Yuma is a nice place to go.

I love Flagstaff so much, we moved here. 😁 Personally I don't care for Sedona any longer. The traffic is horrendous. I prefer Oak Creek.
Mesa is a nice place too
more info, please! We need MORE INFO!!! can you sum up why you are happy to have left NY for AZ? thanks!

Is Sedona more beautiful than Flagstaff? And does it snow in these areas in the November or December?

Its honestly pretty boring to live in if you arent a tourist.
It's expensive to live there

@@RadomKidsareme000 it's an expensive, controlling city filled with psuedo spiritualism and con artist gurus selling rocks and hogwash.

I love Arizona! I left my heart there last year when I visited Grand Canyon 🙏✨
I love Arizona too!
Indeed, I went to a spring training game 7 years ago and fell in love immediately. I moved to AZ 2 years ago and still love it.

Drove through this area during a cross-country roadtrip. The views of the red-rock are MAJESTIC. 😍

Yes and Nevada too
Snoopy rock. That is so cool.
My wife and I just spent our honeymoon in Sedona and you definitely hit a lot of the best spots! Cathedral rock and devils bridge were fun hikes! We tried the Mesa Grill at the airport which was actually really good! Can't wait for our next trip back!!! Such a beautiful place!

We followed most of your recommendations and were so pleased. Thanks!
Love Sedona! One of the best places in AZ!

Also Pink Jeep tours is great. Very adventurous and you can see an area called "ride the white line",
If by "Great" you mean completely exploiting the land and destructive of the local flora then YES!
Get vid dear. Love Sedona. Been there many times. I love the one souvenir shop uptown with all the gems, crystals and rock stuff.
Thank you, I’m going there August 2023
Love it. saving this for our next family vacation, coming from Toronto, Canada.
It wouldn't be a "Through my Lens" travel guide without a great donut recommendation for breakfast! :)
After this video, all of these spots will only get more competitive. But great summary, thank you for the video
I go to Sedona once or twice a year. A couple years ago, I stayed 6 weeks.
You saved the best for last Elote Cafe! 100% friendly reminder they are closed Sunday and Monday ;)
We have been traveling to Sedona for over 30 years and you certainly left off some great eating places, this is just a few. Coffee Pot for breakfast, Pagos in Village of Oak Creek for great pizza and Italian dishes, Dahl and Deluca for a great dinner experience. And now that Village of Oak Creek is putting in a new hotel, upscaling the outlet shops and Lisa Dahl opening 2 new read there, it will put it on the map again.
Very cool place to visit .. a lot of different red colored rocks ... Enjoyed your video.
Thanks for the tips, we were just talking about going here for vacation, now you gave us some ideas on what to do.
I heard that Sedona has the only McDonald’s without yellow Arches and they are turquoise blue
You got that video recommendation too?
That is correct.
That is correct. Its by pet smart.
It’s true
That is truuu
Devils bridge is amazing. The Jeep trails are so much fun. We loved renting a Jeep from Barlow’s, made the sights really accessible and squeezed so much activity into a short time. Yeah it’s pricey it’s a tourist trap but jeez avoid the city and go out where all the good stuff is, you know the red rocks?!
Hey Josh! This is an awesome video! As an AZ native, visiting Sedona is my favorite thing to do here! I LOVE The Chai Spot & I’ve always wanted to go hiking there so your recommendations helped a lot!
The views from the airport were wonderful. Had no idea it was there. We visited Sedona a couple of years ago. Now we have to go back! Those views were stunning!!
Was there in 2010, Seems a lot more developed+crowded then I remember. good vid, thx
I can see why you chose The Elote Café. The Elote appetizer alone looks like a gift from the Elote gods! Wow.
Oh man, it was so good!
Miss you AZ and especially Sedona ,I felt like I was in the wild west :)
My wife and I went there last week. This video was the inspiration for the visit. Beautiful town. It was actually more populous than we thought it would be. I would recommend stopping by Slide Rock State Park; it's 7 miles north of Sedona.
I found Italian restaurant it also nice and safari jeep tuor is really hiking and nice views I definitely recommend that
Thank you so much. No wasted garble, but to the point. On our way now!
Going this month! Looking forward to it! Love your recommendations!
So glad I found your video! I'm headed to Sedona in November. This was really helpful!
Me too!!
I was there in November as well!
Those rock cliff dwellings of the Hopi natives looked a lot like one of the places we visited when we took the Pink Jeep Tour. Also, Jerome and The Grand Canyon are both close enough to visit and return to Sedona on the same day. There is so much to see and do there.
Super helpful! I am planning a trip for me and my 8 year old to Sedona later this year. Your video was wonderful. I’ll definitely research many of these suggestions!!!
